Today's podcast guest is Aleesha Naxakis, a Media and Celebrity Manager from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Australia. PETA is the world's largest animal rights organisation, and their mission is to establish and protect the rights of all animals, operating under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment or abuse in any way. On this episode, Aleesha and I discuss the beginnings of PETA, key campaigns, her experience working with celebrities and Aleesha's personal vegan journey and activism. Connect with PETA Australia: https://www.peta.org.au/ @peta_australia. Mentions in this episode include: Ingrid Newkirk & Alex Pacheco (founders of PETA), Stefania Ferrario (model), Vego chocolate, Golden Lotus (restaurant in Newtown, Sydney).
