Teaching children kindness - Ingrid

Ingrid, her husband and two children went vegan during lockdown.

A friend suggested she watched Seaspiracy and Ingrid was blown away, it was the catalyst that changed everything. Ingrid first went vegetarian and then went vegan after seeing male chicks being ground alive in Dominion.

Last year Ingrid became involved in activism, starting with Animal Rights Activism Sydney cubes, protests and outreach events. She has found a love of visiting and volunteering at animal sanctuaries, as it is not only rewarding to help the animals, but has also helped Ingrid connect with other vegans.

Being a primary school teacher for 13 years, Ingrid identified that the current curriculum is not a true representation of the animal agriculture industry and nutritional needs. Ingrid hopes to change this, allowing future generations to make more informed choices.

Stepping outside her comfort zone, Ingrid recently stood as an Animal Justice Party candidate in the NSW state election, which was a rewarding experience.

In this episode, Ingrid chats about raising a vegan family, finding community and her drive to help teach children kindness to all beings.
