About the Host

Donald Vincent

Donald Vincent, also known as Mr. Hip, is a poet, educator, hip-hop, and spoken word artist of the album Vegan Paradise. He’s also the founder of le pamplemuse™, a content development platform dedicated to spreading the awareness of vegan-friendly companies.

Donald created ‘That’s So Vegan,’ a visual project merging creativity and education on plant-based foods and products with uplifting information on vegan lifestyles. His most recent work, Convenient Amnesia (Broadstone Books), is a poetry collection that illuminates the legacy of racism and violence, appropriation, disenfranchisement, and all those things we’d like to forget, ignore, or disown.

Currently based in Los Angeles, he is a professor of English Composition at UCLA and Literature at Emerson College. He enjoys using storytelling as an instrument for change and awareness of advancing an understanding of justice and compassion.
