  • Malynda for President!

    Malynda is honestly one of the most amazing people I know.* She is hilarious, loving, super smart, and really, really creative. Her pod cast is just like her: thought provoking, deep, and worth getting to know. Her advocacy work has challenged me to open my mind at times, which is really incredible given how set in my ways I am. Check out this podcast. You will be glad you did!

In Conversation w/ Stewart Mitchell ( Animal Rights Activist)
Q: When did you decide to go vegan, and what was that turning point like?
I started to question the animal-raising and slaughter processes as I worked in food service, and a personal moment with my wife's dinner made me realize the life behind the leg quarter on my plate; from there I researched nutrition from plants and committed to veganism in 2011.
