In this episode…

Aryenish describes how she inherited her respect for animals from her parents, who bonded as teenagers while protecting stray dogs on the streets of Karachi, Pakistan.
She remembers her first experience as an activist, campaigning with the help of her mother, against a draconian frog dissection project that was mandated by her school.
Aryenish shares what she learned from her years at The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and what prompted her to found Encompass.
Aryenish tells us about the issues caused by the lack of representation within veganism and the challenges present when promoting diversity within our movement.
We talk about how animal rights is an ally-led movement and the need for diversity as our movement is only as strong as the voices of which it is composed.
Aryenish shares tips on how each of us can promote inclusivity in our activism and create a better world for human and non-human animals.

0:00.0	Season three of the chickpeeps podcast is brought to you in association with our friends at Vivo Life.
0:04.4	They supported our show through the whole of last season and we are thrilled to partner with them again
0:08.1	because by now our entire team is essentially powered by Vivo Life supplements.
0:12.7	I can guarantee you that not one of the chickpeeps will ever be diagnosed with a B12 deficiency.
0:18.2	Stay spangly.
0:19.6	No, but seriously, one of the cool things about these

0:30.3	vegan company. They even plant one tree for every order they receive. Trees. Vitamin D3 plays
0:36.8	an essential role in boosting our immune system, and our bodies synthesize
