Jeff Lehman, also known as @boldplantbasedtaiwan on Instagram, is a ‘secular humanist’ based in Taiwan. A strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, veganism, and anti-oppression of all forms, he has built a space where he simultaneously facilitates honest discussions about difficult subjects while amplifying the voices of marginalised communities.  

In this episode, we discuss why vegan activism needs to be intersectional, cultural appropriation in food, white saviourism in the vegan community, and what it means to be a secular humanist.
