Peace is not simply the absence of harm—it is expressed in how we speak, consume, create, care, and show up for one another every day.
Meet Mary Clifford Brewer
RDN, RN, MSN, VLCE
I'm a Registered Dietitian, Registered Nurse, writer, artist and advocate for vegan living, public health, and social justice. For more than 40 years, I've been passionate about helping people understand the connections between nutrition, health, animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and the choices we make every day.
Vegan-Intersection.com is an invitation to explore how our everyday decisions affect other people, animals, and the world around us. These connections aren't always obvious or widely discussed. My goal is to make complex ideas accessible, practical, and inspiring—encouraging thoughtful, compassionate action in everyday life.
I'm a graduate of Main Street Vegan Academy and believe that creating a healthier, more just world begins with curiosity, kindness, and a willingness to see how our lives are interconnected.
I live in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains with my husband, Lawrence, and our rescued animal family: felines Edina and Patsy, and chihuahuas Lulu, Petey, and Spike.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you'll find ideas, resources, and inspiration that encourage you to live your values more fully. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, I'd love to hear from you.
Who We AreVegan-Intersection.com is an educational and creative platform dedicated to exploring how peace, justice, and nonviolence can become everyday practices—not abstract ideals. This site also serves as a portfolio of writing, educational materials, and visual work that support those ideas in practice.
My Mission
Through research, writing, and visual storytelling, I hope to help people better understand the connections between our choices, our relationships, and the systems that shape our lives. Creating a more peaceful world begins with noticing how we live: what we consume, how we care for others, how we respond to difference, and how we participate in our communities.
To do this, I take an intersectional approach, recognizing that issues such as human wellbeing, animal welfare, environmental sustainability, social justice, health and equity do not exist in isolation. By understanding these connections, we can make more thoughtful and compassionate decisions in daily life.
