Ep. 79: Vegan Voices For a New Future with Dr. Joanne Kong

Pivot! A Vegan Business Interview Series

Perhaps the most positive way to be a vegan advocate is just by being who you are.

I think we're at a time now, where it's so important to look inward, think about and then act upon what is truly of greatest value to us.

I invite everybody to learn as much as you can, and be inspired to go vegan or to speak up and advocate for veganism in your own unique way.
