Journalism is a powerful tool to spread the Animal Rights message and our guest, Jessica Scott-Reid does just that! Jessica's passion for food, culture, and the environment led her into exploring these topics and writing about responsible food choices. Naturally, she learned that this responsibility extends to the animals who are raised for various forms of consumption.She broke free from the "humane" myth, and the "cage-free/free-range" fallacies and made it her mission to expose the unpleasant truths of animal agriculture through her writing.  Whether they are sourced locally, or from a factory farm, Jessica urges her readers to recognize that there is no "right, kind, or humane" way to exploit animals.Jessica's work has been published in several mainstream platforms including Vox, CBC, and Toronto Star, to name a few. She is also a regular contributor to Sentient Media, a  leading Animal Rights media platform.In this conversation, Jessica addresses some of the challenges of bringing Animal Rights issues into the "mainstream media," and offers sage advice to aspiring and seasoned writers who care deeply about Animal Rights and want to make their voices heard on behalf of the animals.

Join this insightful discussion with Collective Liberation and Social Justice Activist, Iye Bako. In this chat with host Shriya, Iye recalls how her health journey propelled her entry into Animal Rights, addresses the importance of representation in the movement, emphasizes the power of seeking inspiration from and collaborating with other social justice movements, and drives home the message that all oppression is interconnected. But that doesn't have to be a daunting undertaking. Because by pulling a single thread in the fabric of oppression, we can untangle and dismantle ALL oppression. A just, equitable, vegan world is one where every living, feeling, sentient being is granted the respect they inherently deserve.Check out Iye's recommended resources for embracing inclusivity within the Animal Rights movement: Christopher SebastianIsaias Hernandez (@queerbrownvegan)Total Liberation Podcast by Mexie,Vegan Warrior Princesses Attack (no longer make new episodes)The Bearded Vegans (no longer make new episodes)Books by Aph and Syl Ko— Aphro-ism, and Racism as Zoological WitchcraftFollow Iye on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and support her work here.-------Upcoming AAM Events:Chicago Convergence: July 29 - Aug 7Ohio Occurrence: Sep 2 - Sep 4For more information on these events, our online workshops, and much more, visit our Linktree:linktr.ee/animalactivismmentorshipTo support our work: Patreon.com/AnimalActivismMentorshipFollow @AnimalActivismMentorship on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube to keep up with the podcast. Join the conversation in the AAM club on Clubhouse and the Animal Activism Mentorship Community Facebook group.Want to get active for the animals but don't know where to start? Sign up for a free mentor at AnimalActivismMentorship.comAAM is fueled by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement).Please remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast!

Host Shriya is joined by former vivisectionist, turned Anti-Caste, and Animal Rights activist Rama Ganesan. Rama comes from a South Indian background where hierarchy based on caste is prevalent. After reading Eating Animals by Jonathon Safran Foer, she decided that veganism resonated with her ethical beliefs on how one must show up in this world. Since then, Rama has been expanding her activism to reach communities less discussed in the mainstream Animal Rights movement—the South Asian diaspora inflicted by the oppressions of Casteism.While the normalcy of vegetarianism in India is celebrated in the Animal Rights communities, Rama urges activists to reconsider this narrative and recognize its hidden core that is rooted in inherent speciesism, commodification, and exploitation of humans and animals by societal elites.We talked about why it's imperative that the vegan movement incorporates an Anti-Caste stance, the humane myth that may underlie the word "ahimsa," and Rama's views on incorporating facets of different cultures that may not truly be rooted in collective compassion and respect for all beings.There is so much fascinating history in this chat and we hope this conversation offers nuanced insight into often overlooked perspectives on the relationship between consuming animals and one's status in society.Check out Rama's literary work here.Rama's Recommended Reads: Annihilation of Caste, Book Excerpt- Read what Ambedkar wrote on why Brahmins started worshipping the cow and gave up eating beef Follow and reach out to Rama on Instagram, Facebook------Upcoming AAM Events:Chicago Convergence: July 29 - Aug 7Ohio Occurrence: Sep 2 - Sep 4For more information on these events, our online workshops, and much more, visit our Linktree:linktr.ee/animalactivismmentorshipTo support our work: Patreon.com/AnimalActivismMentorshipFollow @AnimalActivismMentorship on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube to keep up with the podcast. Join the conversation in the AAM club on Clubhouse and the Animal Activism Mentorship Community Facebook group.Want to get active for the animals but don't know where to start? Sign up for a free mentor at AnimalActivismMentorship.comAAM is fueled by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement).Please remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast!
