I have been invited to speak at the screening of Toxic Bust, a look into the environmental links to breast cancer, at the Breastfest Filmfest taking place in Toronto this weekend. http://www.breastfestfilmfest.com/
While I am far from being a medical expert, I do take great pride in living a lifestyle and running a business in a way that is not only environmentally friendly, but in a way that (I hope) serves to educate and inspire. I am so excited to have this opportunity to share what I have learned along the way.
Living a healthy lifestyle is so much more than the food you put in your body or the (fair trade, organic) moisturiser you use on your skin. It is empowering yourself and those around you to bring about change - locally, nationally, globally - to the way that we perceive ourselves and our interaction with the world around us.
A toxic chemical plant in California is affecting us here in Toronto. Women exposed to harmful substances in the workplace overseas are affecting all of our communities for generations to come.
Rethink Breast Cancer is an organization aimed at educating and empowering - not just funding research by big pharma - and I am very pleased to be affiliated with them at this event.
