Rather than focusing on veganism, today's show looks at a vegan doing something remarkable. Writer Deborah Shouse experienced the death of her adult daughter and, at the urging of a grief counselor, wrote letters to her daughter -- and transcribed the messages that came back.

Deborah's Books:

Letters From the Ungrateful Dead: A Grieving Mom's Surprising Correspondence With Her Deceased Adult Daughter

Love in the Land of Dementia: Finding Hope in the Caregiver's Journey

Novel: An Old Woman Walks Into a Bar

Grey is a Renaissance man who rose to prominence when his Vegan Thanksgiving music video went viral eight years ago. He is still a force in Hip Hop, a restaurateur, founder of Plant-Based Dripping (vegan message wear), and an integral part of Vegan and Friends, Atlanta's weekly vegan market. We talk about how all these aspects converge with his strong family life and Vegan House of Pancakes, the new cafe he and his wife just opened.
