Being bullied has lasting effects. I’ve never forgotten my experience, but it also informs my work for animals on a daily basis. Listen to today’s commentary for KQED Radio.
Supporters make this work possible. Thank you.
Hello, and welcome. I’m Colleen, aka The Joyful Vegan, and I’m here to give you the tools and resources you need to eat, cook, travel, and live compassionately and healthfully.
For over twenty years, my work and podcast have remained free (and ad-free) and vibrant thanks to support from listeners, followers, and readers. I have no staff, no interns, and no assistant. What you see (and hear and watch) is a one-woman labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood. If this labor has impacted your life in the past year (or the past decades), please consider aiding its sustenance by becoming a patron or by making a one-time donation. Your support makes all the difference.
Wear your compassion on your sleeve (or chest or head!) by choosing any number of my message products.
I love this, Colleen. Thank you for sharing your story, your strength, and for using your voice to help all who are oppressed. xoxo
Thank you, my friend. xo
