More than 10,000 Black women signed up for 21-day program 10,000 Black Vegan Women one week prior to its launch on October 5. Developed by public health nutritionist and author Tracye McQuirter, the program aims to help change the health paradigm of Black women, as African Americans experience the highest rates of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer in the United States.

为期21天的“万名黑人纯素女性”（10,000 Black Vegan Women）计划要在一周后到10月5日才正式启动，而现在就已经有超过一万名的黑人女性踊跃报名参加了。公共卫生营养学家兼作家特蕾西·麦克奎特（Tracye McQuirter）制定了该项纯素饮食计划，旨在帮助改善黑人女性的健康模式；目前在美国国内，非裔美国人的心脏病、中风、糖尿病和癌症的发病率最高。

“I want to truly change the health paradigm of Black women,” McQuirter said. “We are leaders in so many progressive ways, but we are in a crisis when it comes to our health. And while there are many reasons for this, we have the power to take back control of our health. It’s about our greens, not our genes. Eating affordable, nutritious, and delicious plant-based foods is one of the best ways for us to get healthy now and for the rest of our lives.”

“我想真正改善黑人女性的健康模式，”麦克奎特说道。“黑人女性在非常多的进步方面都是领导者，但是我们正面临着健康方面的危机。尽管造成这种危机的原因有很多，但我们还是有能力重新掌控自己的健康。这涉及我们的绿色蔬菜（食物），而无关我们的基因。食用负担得起、营养丰富和美味可口的植物性食品是我们从今往后获得健康的最佳方法之一。”

Launched in celebration of the 10th anniversary of McQuirter’s first book, By Any Greens Necessary, the program supports women’s diet change through a series of 21-day “Fresh Starts,” which include online video training, meal plans, vegan recipes, grocery shopping lists, meal prep guides, and nutrition tips.

为庆祝自己第一本书《By Any Greens Necessary》（吃素是福）出版十周年，麦克奎特发起了该项纯素饮食计划，支持鼓励广大女同胞们通过21天一系列的“全新开始”来改变饮食方式，其活动内容包括网上视频培训、餐食计划、纯素食谱、食品杂货店购物清单、备餐指南和营养诀窍等。

“I’m beyond thrilled that 10,000 women (and counting) have signed up for the 10,000 Black Vegan Women movement,” Tracye McQuirter, MPH, said. “With all that’s going on in this country and the world right now, it’s no small act that 10,000 Black women are taking this time to focus on their health. I’m honored to be their guide on this potentially life-changing journey. This is just the beginning.”

“现在已经有一万名女性（人数仍在增加）报名参加‘万名黑人纯素女性’（10,000 Black Vegan Women）活动，这真是令我大喜过望，”公共卫生硕士（MPH）特蕾西·麦克奎特说道。“如今这个国家和世界上出了那么多事，在当前情况下，一万名黑人女性利用本次机会关注自身健康并非是无足轻重之举。在这条有望改变人生的征程上，我很荣幸担任她们的向导。现在才是刚刚开始（迈出第一步）。”
