5 Questions with So Fake Vegan’s Founder

IMANI JOHNSON-JORDAN, FOUNDER, SO FAKE VEGAN

What is So Fake Vegan?

So Fake Vegan is a lifestyle brand celebrating style, sustainability, and the spirit of "vegan adjacency." It’s for anyone exploring dairy-free, meat-free, or plant-based options without fully committing to veganism. We offer stylish merchandise, like high-quality hoodies and unique stickers, for a community that values flexibility and individuality.

How did So Fake Vegan begin?

It started as my personal journey to improve my health and tackle acne flare-ups. At 23, I began exploring dairy-free and meat-free options, documenting my foodie adventures on Instagram. Over time, it grew into a community, and during the pandemic, it evolved into a lifestyle brand blending food, fashion, and sustainability.

Why the name "So Fake Vegan"?

The name reflects my playful approach to dietary choices. I embraced aspects of veganism—dairy-free and meat-free alternatives—while still enjoying seafood and occasional treats. It’s about rejecting rigid labels and celebrating a more flexible, inclusive lifestyle.

What does "vegan adjacency" mean?

"Vegan adjacency" means incorporating elements of a vegan lifestyle—like eating dairy-free or meat-free—without fully committing to veganism. So Fake Vegan embraces this balance, encouraging exploration and diversity without judgment.
