I’m so blessed to have an inspiring mother, always following her heart and pursuing impactful (although difficult) fields. She has been a vegan for around 8 years. I’ve been gradually making my transition towards a vegan lifestyle. A few years back, I completely cut out dairy products. Throughout the last year, I’ve gradually cut down on red meat & poultry, and have now excluded seafood as well. Another person who’s sparked my interest in this field is nutritional therapist Alia Almoayyed. (http://aliaalmoayed.com)

Now that the little bit of background is out of the way, here’s what happened last week.

A good friend sent me a text, “Fahad – there’s a debate competition coming up in our university! … What do you think?” – “Let’s do this!”
