Inspirational Young Women

Aspiring herbalist and “plant geek”, Anaya Harry is 18 years old and still considers herself to be growing and learning on her vegan journey. Two years ago she went vegan solely for her health when she was experiencing some health issues. After going vegan for a few days, her condition went away. She then realized that most of her food choices were linked to all of her uncomfortable health experiences. Soon after, Anaya was asked to join Youth Climate Save with Sophia to encourage the youth to make healthier and more sustainable decisions. Anaya wants to major in plant biology and minor in health and wellness to one day encourage people to make better decisions with their food choices. Not only for their health but for the planet as well.

Sophia Hatamleh is an 18 years old senior in high school. She made the decision to go vegan at 13 years old- initially as a bet but fell in love with all the beautiful aspects that veganism has to offer her, the earth, and the animals.  Throughout the years, Sophia has educated herself on the positive impact that veganism offers the world, which is why she decided to organize Youth Climate Save Houston. On this platform, informative videos are posted on the link between animal agriculture and climate change. She believes that together, we can save our earth and its beautiful creatures.
