We respect Tia's social media expertise, her ability to connect with millions of people across platforms, and we embrace her integrity and passion,” said Vejii's CEO, Kory Zelickson. “We are proud to align ourselves with Tia – she is genuine, passionate and engaging – we're excited to enable her to inspire the next generation of Vegans.”
 
An early-stage brand ambassador for Beyond Meat, Blanco has an extensive social media following which includes over a million followers across her social channels which include Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter.

“I am very excited to be partnering with Vejii and the company's plant-based movement. I'll be proud to promote the company's mantra to my followers, across many different platforms. I've performed at my very best while on a plant-based diet. I am grateful for the opportunity to partner with an emerging industry leader like Vejii”, said Blanco. “I also look forward to working with the Vejii marketing team and their ultimate vision while assisting in social media growth, brand awareness, and brand development.”

“At Dear Self, we focus on sustainability, quality, cruelty-free, and of course, plant-based – all of which align with Vejii and their corporate values. This opportunity will allow us to expand our reach across the country,” said Blanco, “It is important that we align our brand with companies with similar values to ours, and Vejii couldn't be a better fit.”
