This week’s guest is Gina Lynn, founder of New Life Animal Sanctuary, and we couldn’t be more excited. Gina has dedicated her entire life to animal advocacy and activism. After years of organizing protests, conferences, marches, etc., co-producing an internationally distributed grassroots animal rights magazine, and enduring the stress of government harassment, Gina sought a gentler approach to getting the message out. She founded New Life Animal Sanctuary in 2008 to rescue and rehabilitate animals no longer used in laboratories. Gina joins us on the podcast today to tell us how the sanctuary finds and obtains possession of these animals and how she and her fellow caretakers heal them, rehabilitate them, and enrich the remainder of their lives. She explains her strategies in persuading labs to surrender animals rather than killing them and how she conducts her own independent research to see if labs are interested in rehoming their animals to a sanctuary. Gina also shares how she navigates the delicate balance between staying true to her animal advocacy work while maintaining a productive relationship with the research community. In this week’s “Our Hen House Supports Vegan Businesses” program, we’re showing some love to Zoe’s Vegan Delight and Rebel Cheese. Zoe’s Vegan Delight is a Black women-owned, vegan catering business in Greenbelt, MD. Rebel Cheese is a vegan deli, located in Austin, TX known for their vegan cheese baskets.

Episode 571: Life After Labs ft Gina Lynn

Welcome back to The Creative Pois-On Podcast! We’ve come to the Creative Interview episode of our first month of podcasting, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share with you our special guest. As you might know, our host for the month is Digital Strategist, Beauty &amp; Fitness Model and Executive Producer of Melange 2019, Mara De Los Santos. This month we are talking about Transformation, and that’s why we thought of introducing our audience to the Melange project – an experimental concept promoting diversity and self-love in and through fashion, and fashion is all about the search for identity and how we continuously reinvent ourselves staying true to our own individuality and style. And so, it felt natural for Mara and us to look for our special guest in within the Melange family. So, we are proud and honored to introduce to you ... listen to the episode to know the name of our guest! You won't regret it, we promise. The interview is very powerful!
