Although I did not fully transition to veganism until I was in my 20’s, I truly feel that the small but impactful moments throughout my life lead me to realizing being vegan was the only way of life for me. Whether it was refusing to eat meat as a 10 year old, growing up with my favourite movies being ones that starred animal characters or just caring for my own animal pets and friends. Each of these moments were integral.
But the defining moment was when I fell in love with strength training and my nutrition ended up comprising of mostly meat, dairy and eggs to realize my performance goals. It came to a point where it finally struck a nerve and my love for animals finally shone through, leading me to dig deep researching exactly where my food was truly coming from. Watching slaughterhouse footage and seeing past the “humane” claim misnomers was all it took.
At this point it became my life’s purpose and passion to embody a vegan lifestyle through and through. Each and everyday for me is an opportunity to inspire change to stop animal cruelty in its tracks. Whether it’s through humourous vegan posts, plantbased powered workouts, vegan food or the latest vegan news… everyday is an opportunity to share the amazingness that a vegan lifestyle brings!
It was a complete transformation of mind, body and soul for me and I know it can be for many others as well. Love you all and remember that together we are plant-strong!
