After watching “What the Health” on Netflix, Colorado Springs native Patrese Evans decided to try a vegan lifestyle. When her two weeks were up, she never looked back.

Today, her online-based Sweegan Bakery specializes in making a variety of delicious vegan desserts. As she juggles her side hustle alongside a full-time career, Patrese’s entire family helps continue to make the bakery a reality in the community.
