Heyyyyyy it’s Tiffany from Philly in the US! I couldn’t feel more honored to share my vegan journey with you.
Since I can remember, I have always felt connected to animals. Unfortunately, I spent my 20s living with a selfish state of mind. I kept myself in the dark about what happened to the animals that I consumed because I knew that the truth would force a change that I wasn’t ready to make. Oh my, how I regret that!
I became vegetarian in September of 2016. I started following vegans on IG & just like that, I made the connection. Shortly after becoming vegetarian, I went vegan overnight.
There were 3 major influences for me: about 30 minutes of @earthlingsfilm, a speech given by activist, @jamesaspey & lastly, an unforgettable video. It was of a cow that had recently given birth & was chasing a truck that had her newborn calf in a cage.
I listened to the mother bellow so loud, fighting for her baby that will never feel its mother’s touch, will never know love, & will spend a life full of exploitation and violence. I was heartbroken.
I went vegan & will NEVER LOOK BACK. I have since become involved with acitivism in my city & am doing the best I can to open the eyes of everyone around me. I cry nearly every damn day for the animals & will spend my life fighting for them.
Thank you.
