This week on The ChickPeeps we interview the extraordinary Genesis Butler. Having chosen to go vegan at the age of 6, 13-year-old Genesis has already reached thousands of people all over the world with her message of compassion for all beings. In this episode she talks to Momo and Evy about founding her own non-profit organisation, ‘Genesis for Animals’, travelling all over the world for the Million Dollar Vegan promoting a vegan lifestyle by lobbying the Pope to go vegan (!), being a Marvel Superhero and the creative ways she’s concocted to continue to engage youth in vegan and climate activism throughout lockdown.
