Want to explore veganism?
Wondering where to start?

The best gift to those interested in learning about veganism is the wisdom and legacy of Jay Dinshah. We are super excited about bringing you (coming soon!) AI-powered “Jay Suggests” provides 3 personalized curated resources to help you go vegan successfully: animated Jay and his cow friend Hope provide individualized resource suggestions to vegan-curious and pre-vegan users.
It was ten years before I graduated from vegan at home to vegan for certain.
Jay never gave up on me. That meant everything.
