Over the last few years, I've had several moments that made me stop and realize that to be vegan is to live compassionately. This is the story of why I became vegan, what my transformation was like, growing into a vegan plant based diet and why I think everyone should take small steps to start living in accordance with their own ethics so they can be their best self.

I've been vegan since August 7, 2015.
