I've always been incredibly passionate about animals and the environment. I began this journey young, from protesting ant and mouse traps and saving bugs at 6, to becoming vegetarian at 12 after investigating where my food comes from as well its environmental impacts.

I've been practicing yoga for many years, and I continue to strive to follow the path of Ahimsa, or nonviolence. It is not easy, but through enlightenment and love is how we create a safe space for real change. #voiceless4animaljustice, a 24 hour vow of silence, is a non-violent way to raise awareness to animal cruelty on farms,  in transport and slaughterhouses, even in labs and puppy mills. lt is also an opportunity to become more mindful and compassionate by feeling for just a fleeting moment what these animals go through their entire lives in not having a voice.

Ag-gag laws are not just a veganism issue, they're an animal cruelty issue. We are raising money for the Animal Justice lawyers fighting these ag-gag laws that affect the welfare of millions of animals yearly. We have the responsibility and the right to know what goes on behind closed doors. If we are blind to what is happening, how are we ever going to change it?

Help me support Animal Justice in the fight to create a safer, more kind Canada for animals. Every little bit helps!
