“Brown sandwiches pep talks and vegan recipes between anecdotes of a spiritual and at times supernatural ilk. . . . She treats every life experience as an opportunity to share a lesson learned . . . always bolstered by the same authentic, sincere joy that has made her a hit on TikTok.” — Time on Feeding the Soul (Because It’s My Business)“Brown . . . makes people feel good, makes them think, makes them laugh, and calms them down. Feeding the Soul delivers on its title. It’s a great read for when you need a soul pick-me-up, a life pep talk, or simply something to reflect on.”  — Shondaland on Feeding the Soul (Because It's My Business)“[Tabitha Brown is] a master at feeding viewers’ souls with her inspirational messages of hope and positive affirmations of self-love.” — People.com on Feeding the Soul (Because It's My Business)“This [book is] sprinkled with Brown’s infectious energy as she shares some of the wisdom that she picked up along her journey, and of course, a few vegan recipes!”  — IndieWire on Feeding the Soul (Because It’s My Business)“When Brown—dubbed 'America’s Mom'—isn’t posting adorable videos that show her dancing with excitement over vegan garlic-parm croutons, she’s being cast in some of Hollywood’s biggest series (such as Showtime’s The Chi) and being invited onto top talk shows (from Ellen to The Drew Barrymore Show). And though Tinseltown can’t seem to get enough of this Southern belle, it’s Brown’s groundedness and unrelenting commitment to being her authentic self that points to why she is so damn beloved.”  — VegNews on Tabitha Brown“Inspiring. . . . A beacon of hope and positive changes.” — Booklist“The authentic voice that made Brown a social media 'Mom and Auntie to America' shines bright in this read sprinkled with a warm, welcoming, and inclusive spirituality.” — Library Journal
