The Mentors

Gaurav
Hello, my name is Gaurav, I'm a fitness enthusiast, sports lover, comic book/superhero nerd and a banking professional. But most importantly, I’m one quarter of an entirely vegan family.
-
Jason
I've wanted to be vegan since 1973, when I was seven and my mum told me about factory farming. (Thanks mum.) But I didn't actually do it until thirty-one years later.
-
Julia
Hi, my name is Julia and I’ve been vegan since 2015. Prior to that, I had grappled with the mistreatment of animals and in a way supported the idea of ethical veganism for some years before I started my transition.
-
Lefki
Looking back at various points in my life, I think I’ve always had a vegan mindset, but it’s taken me many years to align my lifestyle habits with what I understood intrinsically as a child.
-
Lisa
I’m a data nerd, casual chorister, sanctuary volunteer, creative cook, reading enthusiast, bushwalker, geographer, parent and vegan.
-
Lucy
Having been brought up on a cattle and horse-racing property, I transitioned to a plant-based diet over a decade ago. The newfound vitality I experienced after making the switch was convincing enough.
-
Melissa
Hi, I'm Melissa, and I've been living a vibrant, vegan lifestyle for the past decade. I've been a fitness instructor, peaceful protestor for the animals and now a qualified Sports Nutrition advisor and Health and Wellness coach.
-
Wei
My name is Wei and I spent the first half of my life in Beijing, China where it was acceptable for people to eat all types of animals. Back then I had always thought I loved animals but hadn't yet made the connection between the food we were taught to eat, and the harm and suffering experienced by the animals.
