Summary

HIYA FRIENDS! Today on the show, we bring you the ever-so-sweet Bonny Rebecca. For the unacquainted, Bonny Rebecca is a content creator and influencer with one hell of a story to tell. In 2018, at the height of the plant-based Instagram movement, Bonny - someone who had built a life and a career based on the lifestyle - decided to tell the world that she was leaving veganism for good. Cue: total internet outrage. Outrage so bad that Bonny found her name and face in massive publications like VICE. In this chat, we asked Bonny: What’s it like to find yourself in the eye of a social media storm? Is that corner of the internet really a bit like a cult? And how do you find yourself again when everything you once defined yourself as comes crashing down? For more from Bonny, follow her on Instagram @bonnyrebecca.
