Hey There!

I’m Noemi, the founder of ZAMA Mama. I’m so happy you are here!
From the moment I realized I wanted to children, I was determined to give them the healthiest start possible.
I had already been plant-based for 10 years but there were other changes I made to my lifestyle that people found surprising. I set out to create a holistic path to wellness for me and my family.
That meant:
- Trying our best to be toxin-free
- No meat
- No dairy
- No animal products at all — for me or the little ones
It may sound impossible, especially for a grassroots Latina like me. But I am happy to tell you — it is all VERY possible.
- How did I successfully complete two plant-based pregnancies?
- How am I now raising two thriving, plant-based kids?
- What am I still struggling with? What did I get wrong? What did I learn?

What You'll Discover:
- An array of plant-based recipes,
- Personal stories from my life as a mother of two beautiful babies and
- Practical wellness tips
Plus I will add insights into my latest learnings and wanderings. (Currently, I’m all about exploring AI tools!)
Some of my suggestions may surprise you. After all, I am not the typical vegan mom.
- I came to the United States as the undocumented daughter of undocumented parents.
- I attended public schools in a tough Latino neighborhood in LA.
- After college, I worked as a criminal justice advocate inside the country’s largest jail system.
If I can maintain this lifestyle, I know you can too.
