A SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD ACTIVIST MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE

Kingston Zoom Walters, also known as, King Zoom The Vegan Kid, is a seventeen-year-old vegan, neurodivergent, feminist social justice activist, and environmentalist.

He was born and raised vegan which led to his interest in animal activism. His early passion for speaking up against injustices towards animals, humans and the planet evolved into speaking at many events across North America.

Kingston uses his personal experiences to motivate others to take action when they see injustices. Whether it is smiling and acknowledging someone who may be living on the street or stopping trucks at a slaughterhouse. He has gained a reputation for inspiring others with his enthusiastic and passionate presentations.

Kingston’s activism has included bearing witness and stopping trucks at slaughterhouses, speaking at city hall to ask them to choose new ways of non-animal research, locking down bridges for climate change, and solo disruptions at places of violence.

Kingston also enjoys speaking to members of parliament to ask them to support bills that liberate animals. In 2018 his speaking and writing efforts led to the historical passing of Bill S-203, the ban of cetaceans in captivity at the Vancouver Aquarium, and the Ban of cetaceans in captivity in Canada.

You can see all of his adventures in activism on his evolving YouTube channel as well as his cooking show,  “Monday Munchies”.

Kingston lives with his mom and rescued boxer dog, ‘Ms.Paisley’ in British Columbia, Canada.  Check out his most recent book, “King Zoom’s Quarantine Cook Book: Plant-Based Recipes To Save Our Planet” available on BlurbBooks.

VEGAN BANH MI, SIMPLE AND SO MUCH YUM!

King’s Vietnamese vegan banh mi is super simple to make and really really tasty.  I am inspired by King, a seventeen-year-old who is a powerful activist AND a great cook!  At seventeen I was out getting into trouble, as kids do, totally oblivious to the suffering in the world, so I am wildly impressed by this young, determined go-getter who is already making such a difference at such a young age.  I look forward to following his adventures to better the world, and trying out his delicious recipe for banh mi!
