⁠Are You an Angry Vegan? with Chris Kendall

Thursday August 13, 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm PDT

This talk gets real about why that anger shows up, what it does to our health and our relationships, and most importantly whether it’s actually getting us the results we want. We’ll explore the difference between being an activist and a reactivist, how to use those feelings as a springboard rather than a stuck point, and land on the practical side of how to genuinely thrive and connect socially as a raw vegan in a world that doesn’t always get it yet.
