Veganism continues to grow each year and November is even World Vegan Month. But with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa and other holidays being celebrated around this time of year, it can be challenging for non-vegans and vegans alike to navigate holiday feasts and finding ethical gifts for our friends and family members. On ACT Radio, Liz and Tom talk with Dominique Side, music artist, serial entrepreneur, and vegan fashion/lifestyle influencer about having a compassionate mindset this holiday season and her efforts to inspire and support other change-makers and influencers to transition to a vegan lifestyle.

Dominique Side owns VgnBae Apparel which is a brand that upholds the values of Vegan for Life and is committed to sustainable and eco-friendly merchandise production using only 100% vegan materials. Her affinity for luxury and fashion inspired VgnBae Apparel, a way for people to spread a message and express themselves through clothing and accessories.
