Jody’s new series was inspired by the wonderful people and animals she met at the Gentle Barn Tennessee. She became a vegetarian in 2012, shortly after she was diagnosed with breast cancer and today she enjoys a completely plant-based diet. Although giving up meat and dairy was a health decision initially, her awakening to the plight of animals has become a very important part of her life, which she is able to articulate through her work. Jody has learned that being a vegan is good for your health, good for the planet, and especially good for animals!
