TAYLOR GIRL'S VEGAN SOUL


Taylor Girl's Vegan Soul is the birth-child of Monique M. Davis-Elzy. Named after her Grandmother Florence and her two sisters Eleanor, and Janice, that were known as children as the Taylor Girl's. Monique wanted to honor them and her family by naming this venture after them. These three black women were beautiful, smart, and successful. They left our family a legacy to be proud of, I hope to make them proud.
