In a statement sent to Plant Based News, Williams said: “I’m extremely excited to be partnering with PlantX.
“It’s the first marketplace of its kind and I wish it had been around when I was transitioning to a plant-based diet over a decade ago. Living a plant-based lifestyle has drastically improved my quality of life.
“So, I’m looking forward to working with PlantX to help others learn about the food system and how this lifestyle can help them achieve optimal health.”
Sean Dollinger is the founder of PlantX. He added: “Venus’ success as an elite plant-based athlete is incredibly inspiring.
“I’m thrilled that our values align so powerfully in a way that encourages people to give plant-based living a try and listen to their bodies closely as they transition towards this lifestyle.
“Our partnership with Venus aims to celebrate these values and raise awareness of the incredible heights that a plant-based lifestyle can achieve.”
