Plum Phillips

Before she’s anything, Plum Phillips is vegan (for the animals and the planet in equal measure). But when she’s not chowing down on pure plant power, she’s a writer. Her writerly background is in general wellness and lifestyle topics, but here on Totally Vegan Buzz she veganised her contributions for current affairs, humour and a bunch of quizzes.
