Georgia draws inspiration from the incredible strength of the rescue animals she grew up with, including one who was severely disabled. Her mother, a role model who has been meat-free for over 40 years, profoundly shaped Georgia’s understanding of compassion and a kinder way of living.

For her, choosing cruelty-free options, whether in food or fashion, has always felt like a natural choice, reinforcing her belief that kindness should extend to all beings, especially those who cannot advocate for themselves.

As a deaf actor, Georgia believes her unique perspective enhances her empathy. She champions the power of “being”—specifically, embodying gentleness—as the most effective way to influence others. In her talk, she will share her vegan journey and explore how we can all inspire one another to contribute to a more compassionate world.
