About The Author
After experiencing life-changing results by making simple changes, Assile Beydoun wanted to share her story to help others understand the importance of going vegan, physically, mentally, and spiritually. After she received a certification in plant-based nutrition from Cornell’s Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, she founded the Dubai Vegan Community, a platform that helps people on their journeys by spreading awareness about the benefits of a plant-based diet, advocating the animal rights movement, promoting sustainable food choices, and breaking stereotypes about veganism. In addition to being the sustainability communications director of a Fortune 500 company, Assile also cofounded Spread the Raw, a plant-based snacks distribution company; Wholesome Retreats, for spiritual and wellness retreats; and Cold Pressed, a juice detox program.
