About The Author

Lex Talamo

I love animals, and at age 13 went vegetarian and stopped using products tested on animals. I am now vegan and feel so much better physically and also overall to be living a life aligned with my deepest held convictions that we must, as humans, steward in a more compassionate world for all beings. I'm honored to share my home with dog Kody and cats Apple and Canyon. Before coming to Lady Freethinker, I taught middle and high school writing, then obtained my master's degree from ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and worked as an investigations and local government reporter for five years for The Shreveport Times and the Yakima Herald-Republic.
