I was inspired to be creative and create some art that could be used for marketing the vegan message when I heard about the PaperGirl Brisbane great idea of free art to random people delivered by bicycle. Here's how it works:

1. Collect artwork and writing.
2. Exhibit all the submitted pieces of work.
3. Deliver all the work to random people via bicycle.

This morning at 9:30am Brisbane time (Tuesday 3:30pm LA time) I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Heather Lounsbury, L.Ac. who is an Acupuncturist, Herbalist & Nutritionist in LA. Heather runs the website Live Natural Live Well and conducts interviews twice a month as DocHeather on BlogTalkRadio.

Here's the Interview Link where you can listen to the 30 minute interview. It was a lot of fun with 300 people listening in!

The lovely Jasmin (who is one of my favourite friends!) and her equally lovely partner in life and activism, Mariann, invited me to be interviewed for their podcast: Episode 92: “There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

They also interview musician, Kirsti Gholson and have a good chat about various things including black bean brownies and Occupy Wall Street.

I speak about Viva la Vegan, my not-for-profit environmental awareness group Green Earth Group, my US adventures, new The Power of Words podcast, the state of the vegan and AR movement in Australia and in the US plus how many things in common Jasmin and I have! Hope you like it ;)

You can hear the podcast or read and hear the podcast on their blog. Make sure you check out Our Hen House for a vast collection of multimedia ways to get active for the animals.

Nicole (who I met in Portland, OR - blog coming soon!) asked me to write a lil' blurb about a vegan product I like for Vegan MOFO (Month of Food) where Nicole was profiling vegan people she likes with the products they like on her blog Vegan Things I Like. I chose Pure Gaisha's mineral liquid eyeliner.

Interview with a Vegan: Leigh-Chantelle

7 Oct 2010

I recently had the pleasure of hanging out with hot Aussie animal activist Leigh -Chantelle of Vivalavegan.net. This little lady is one of the most motivated and inspiring animal activists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her whole life is devoted to spreading the word about veganism, organizing life-changing events, and interviewing others with the same message.  She will literally interview anyone, anywhere, anytime. I figured the least I could do was return the favor. FULL INTERVIEW HERE

So, I finally arrived home from my 5 week US adventures!

I went to LA, Portland OR, Seattle, Washington DC and New York.  I networked my way through those areas and I've blogged about it on Viva la Vegan! Here's a couple of my favourite food photos:

the above is raw nachos from a place in Portland, OR called Blossoming Lotus. Below is probably my favourite food photo I took from my trip: raw truffle from Prassad, also in Portland:

The footage from my award and letter of recognition from Supreme Master Ching Hai has finally aired on SMTV.  It's really wonderful to have Master Ching Hai as a huge supporter of mine.  The video shows footage of the old version of vivalavegan.net as well as Green Earth Festival footage, my bedroom, my recycled clothing line and more.

See HERE for the video - about 2/3rds of the way through the programme.  Hope you like it ;)
