AVA Summit 2023

De AVA'23

Imagine a place as specific as Lego Land, or Hershey Park. A place that is all about a specific idea or thing that makes you happy. Imagine being in that place with people that not only make you happy, but fuel your heart and mission. That place for me, is the AVA Summit Conference that took place in Los Angeles this year, 2023.

This is a place where community is so strong 

ETHICALLY EXPOSED

and the people you meet are soulful. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to attend this year once again.

 I had the chance to meet so many movers and shakers in the space of freedom for all. 

I met founders, to filmmakers, organizations, and independent people who have the same missions and vision to save animals through education, action and awareness. 

I really never realized the true value of community until I attended AVA. It gives a common ground and foundation of understanding. Imagine going to your favorite place of choice, and everyone was there for the same reason… That is so powerful and truly incredible. It provides a solid relationship to build upon without having to give

 background about your passion. Not that having to explain your passion is a bad thing, but there is this automatic understanding that is at another level.

The AVA conference is a place where people from all over the world come together and join forces to help animals and educate others. We network, we eat and we make friends and we all learn a ton. There are so many talks to attend and the ability to learn from amazing speakers, is amazing.

Now also, not everyone at the conference is there for the same reason. We all attend with the action and drive to

change the world, but in many different areas. For instance, some are passionate about the environment, some care tremendously about world hunger, some love animals and others are there for

health, but it all boils down to one thing…living kind = vegan. Living a plant based lifestyle in every direction solves all the problems within these topics, and provides a great understanding to those around us. 

If you have the chance to go, or happen to be in the area where the conference is, I highly recommend going, regardless if you are vegan or not. Specifically because it offers tremendous education and opportunities to better yourself and the world. 

Thank you AVA for creating this conference and giving us all the opportunity to connect and grow our strong mission. 🙂
