Contributor

Christian "Chrissy" Tracey is a first-generation Jamaican American, originally from Connecticut. As a lifelong vegetarian, she transitioned to a vegan diet in 2018—but not before she was able to spend a few months exploring "the other side," trying different meats to understand the flavors this world had to offer. She is passionate about sustainability and climate change matters, and believes that bringing plant-based food to the masses will help decrease our environmental footprint at large. At 27 years old, she is a vegan chef for Bon Appétit and runs a company called Vegan Vibes Meal Prep in Connecticut. Tracey is a CT 30 Under 30 recipient and contributes her excess resources as a business owner to providing low-income families with plant-based meals in New Haven County.
