Events Director
I graduated as an agricultural technician in Brazil, where I witnessed how the entire process of agriculture and livestock works-from the semen collection for artificial insemination to slaughter and post-slaughter trade. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the best guidance and information then, and living on plants seemed impossible for me for health reasons.
Fortunately, a few years later, a colleague who studied with me became vegan and started posting information and recipes. I didn’t think twice about asking for her help, and the connection was immediate for me. The change was easy, as I no longer had doubts that this was the path my heart wanted to follow.
Gone are the days when hunting was the only way to survive. We live in new times, with new technology and possibilities. The vast majority of the population doesn't need to eat animal products anymore. If we want to see positive changes, we have to act accordingly and change. Waiting only for the government or “influencers” is a waste of time because we're tired of seeing that greed is always greater. Change starts with us in every thought, word, and deed. It's no use waiting. We have to earn it! What kind of world do you co-create according to your actions? A world based on LOVE or FEAR?
Being vegan goes beyond how we choose to feed our physical body. It’s about love and respect for all beings, whether my species or not. It’s a search for balance between man and nature. Without nature and everything that lives in it, we cannot have this experience called LIFE. We must start with ourselves, our choices, and our examples to live in a more loving world. Through veganism, my goal is to show that it’s possible to create a world where we base our actions on LOVE and not fear.
