About

The Vegan Dan Dan is Darice, or 丹丹 (DanDan)!

I’m a vegan, Miss Taiwanese American 2014, writer, translator, model and artist currently based in Taipei, Taiwan.

I’m passionate about amazing delicious healthy vegan food, connecting cultures and ethical living.

I’ve volunteered with the first successful campaign to have a rock star elected to legislature, written an acceptance speech delivered to thousands on a cruise ship, and assisted with international press conferences.

You can find my writing on Ketagalan Media, TaiwaneseAmerican.org, and New Bloom Mag, and Taipei Times.

I was the organizer for the first World Plant Milk Day in Taiwan as well as translator for “The Vegan Strategist” Tobias Leenaert and Sebastian Joy at the International Vegan Union, and fixer for Dr. Melanie Joy at the first Center for Effective Vegan Advocacy training in Taiwan.
