The internet’s favourite person, actor, producer, and entrepreneur Genelia Deshmukh breaks down the scientific and empathetic reasons why her entire family is plant-based. Growing up in a Mangalorean Catholic household where non-veg meals, especially fish, were the norm, Genelia’s shift to plant-based living was unexpected. What started as a spiritual practice evolved into a wholesome lifestyle, leading to her realise the health benefits of ditching dairy and meat for good.Learning about the power of plants through nutrition courses with plant-based pioneer and expert, Colin Campbell, she first challenged her own long-held beliefs while also navigating societal pressures and smirks from others for raising her children differently. Her commitment to making plant-based living more palatable to those like her and her husband, @RiteishDeshmukh, led to the inception of her alt-protein venture, Imagine—offering delicious alternatives that even non-vegetarians cannot resist. Much like her beloved character, Aditi aka Meow, in the nostalgic #Bollywood movie, #jaanetuyajaanena , she is winning our hearts all over again with her kindness and compassion for the voiceless.Her mission is simple: To introduce everyone to a whole new world of cruelty-free, plant possibilities. It’s a thoughtful and endearing conversation about health, family, food, and the future of plant-based living OR making plant-based living full of joy and hope, just like her radiant smile. In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, @SustainableTeaWithShreya and @itsgeneliad discuss parenting, her learnings from motherhood, balancing family life with ambition, raising vegan/ plant-based kids, empowering children with the right knowledge to make their own, informed choices, navigating criticism and social pressures, the science of plant nutrition, better health outcomes, the myths around soy consumption, launching a business during her acting sabbatical, returning to screens on her terms, the value of sustainability, recycling, and upcycling in her home, and making plant-based living a delicious and joyful experience.

Here’s how South superstar and superhero @ArvindKrishna's plant-based lifestyle transformed his performance both on and off court and movie sets, perfecting his craft, health, and overall well-being. So many believe that energy and strength can only come from animal products. That there is “masculinity” in consuming meat. What is it about an innocent’s suffering behind closed doors of slaughterhouses that makes another strong? Why have we been conditioned to think this way? Circulating myths that anything plant-based is fancy or only for the elite when the actual norm is harming our health. These harsh realities are deliberately hidden from us, but if we could see the truth for ourselves—how would it change our choices? Positively impact our lives.Join us as we break down stereotypes and question everything we’ve been falsely fed, to explore a kinder, more compassionate way of living—one we can sustain and that’s healthier for us, our children, and the planet.In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, Telugu actor and star basketball player, @ArvindKrishna and @ShreyaGhodawat slam dunk into the power of plant-based living, the intersection of perceived masculinity, diet, health, and performance, the challenges of societal expectations, the responsibilities that come with fame and influence, the vital role of fans and their love, advocacy and social calling, and importance of inspiring a collective movement toward a better future.In this Episode:00:00 Trailer00:28 Introduction and Journey to Veganism03:42 High School Vegan Movement07:19 Impact of Veganism on Performance11:38 Challenges and Misconceptions26:14 Spiritual and Ethical Reasons31:17 Tempeh Recipe Tips31:34 Cooking and Traveling with a Vegan Chef32:02 Veganism in Indian Culture32:38 Challenges of Eating Out as a Vegan33:49 Global Shift Towards Veganism38:26 Life Lessons from Basketball and Acting40:18 The Importance of Teamwork42:06 Trusting the Process and Using Talents44:32 Fame and Fan Interaction49:10 Movies and Playing a Superhero on Film in ‘A Masterpiece’53:05 Fatherhood and the Hope for Future Generations 57:59 Sustainability and Advice on Living Better59:46 Bloopers#plantbasedliving #veganathlete #sustainablelifestyle #plantpower #arvindkrishna #masculinityredefined #compassionateliving #healthandwellness #sustainablefuture #veganmealplans #plantperfect #telugusuperstar #VeganTransformation #ecoconsciousliving #sustainablehealth #meatfree #veganathlete #breakstereotypes

In the fight for climate justice, inequality isn’t just about resources or emissions; it’s also about representation. Women, often disproportionately affected by climate change, have long been sidelined in decision-making spaces dominated by men. Despite their critical role in communities, particularly in the Global South, their voices remain underrepresented in climate leadership. Yet, rather than accepting this imbalance, these women are using their exclusion as a driving force, turning eco-anxiety into a catalyst for global change.
We delve into the emotional journey of these "dangerous women" as they navigate their roles in the climate movement. We explore how they channel their frustrations into powerful action, revealing the stark contrast between idealistic aspirations and the tough realities of driving meaningful change. Their stories offer invaluable insights into what it truly takes to create a lasting impact in a space where representation and action are critically intertwined.
While we are asking ourselves What does it take to bridge the gap between climate ambition and action? And how can women around the world step into leadership roles to drive the change we need?
In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, @ShreyaGhodawat is joined by @PatMitchell, @HafsatAbiola, and @RondaCarnegie to explore their transformative roles in climate justice. They discuss how Project Dandelion breaks barriers, amplifies marginalised voices, and combines scientific solutions with empathy. Tune in for personal stories of overcoming eco-anxiety, bridging the Global North-South divide, and harnessing indigenous knowledge to shift the narrative from women as victims to powerful solvers.

Dr.Nandita Shah, a pioneer in plant-based living and the founder of @SHARANIndiaLife challenges the very foundations of our beliefs.We’ve been led to believe that milk is essential, we need a lot of protein that can only come from animals, and animal-derived fat is just a harmless indulgence.

In the search for climate solutions, we've often turned to cutting-edge technology and complex international agreements. But what if the key to our sustainable future has been here all along, preserved in the traditions and practices of indigenous communities?
Sara's journey from a displaced community to the global stage illuminates why indigenous voices are critical in the climate crisis. She reveals how traditional knowledge, passed down through generations, offers sustainable practices that modern society has forgotten. Sara explores the unique role of indigenous women as keepers of this wisdom and defenders of Mother Earth.
From her groundbreaking position as her region's first female indigenous leader to her influential role in the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities, Sara shows how indigenous leadership is evolving to meet global challenges. She delves into the harsh realities faced by those protecting ancestral lands.
In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, Dandelion @ShreyaGhodawat and Dandelion Sara Omi in collaboration with @Project Dandelion offer a fresh perspective on what it truly means to create resilient climate solutions. They explore balancing ancient wisdom with modern challenges, harnessing indigenous women's unique role in environmental protection, and finding strength and unity in the face of criminalization and displacement. It is a discussion that challenges our understanding of progress and sustainability, and reveals how indigenous voices could be the missing piece in our climate action puzzle.

Imagine waking up one day as a refugee in your own homeland. Your identity, your roots, your very existence - questioned and threatened. For many in Palestine and parts of the world, this isn't a hypothetical scenario; it's a harsh, daily reality. But why don't these stories reach our ears unfiltered? Why does the truth seem so elusive?In an age of information overload, our inherent biases, preconceived notions cultivated over years, sensationalised news coverage, and surprisingly, even AI systems, have all played a role in confusing truth for falsehood. How did we arrive at this point where the lived experiences of millions can be so easily dismissed ? In this thought-provoking episode with Selma Bichbich we uncover the surprising and often overlooked connections between climate change and regional conflicts, the power of youth in shaping policy, real impact of 'keyboard activism', questioning whether our online efforts are driving meaningful change or simply creating an illusion of progress, limitations of peace negotiations, the changing narratives around international law, and the crucial role of youth in shaping a sustainable future.This conversation will push you to reconsider what you thought you knew, offering fresh perspectives on some of the most pressing issues facing the MENA region and the world at large.Selma Bichbich - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/selmaqueen3...Linkedin: / selma-bichbich-a034431b4 In this Episode:Trailer (0:00)Selma Bichbich- Introduction (01:05)Youth Activism in Crisis (03:28)COP28 and Global Awareness (04:32)Palestine is a global issue (05:21)How does climate change amplify the effects of War (07:53)Complexities of Activism in MENA (09:00)What can we do beyond armchair activism (11:02)Global Indifference to MENA Issues (13:00)Lack of Unity and Collective Action (15:28)Vocality and Backlash (17:20)Human Prioritization in Policy (18:10)Youth as Future Leaders (19:30)Responsibility of Older Generations (22:50)Challenges of Being Gen-Z in MENA (23:30)Colonization and Irony of global priorities (25:20)Women's Rights and Representation of Hijab (29:10)Activism and Leadership Disconnect (31:27)Defining Activism (33:00)Vision for Change (34:58)Intersectionality in Activism (37:12)Bias in AI and information (40:13)Leadership in the MENA Region (43:35)Call to Action for Institutions and Governments (45:30)Message for Policy makers (48:35)Message to Global Youth Activists (49:57)Defining Sustainability (51:41)Gratitude for the Conversation (53:00)Outro (55:33)#youthactivism #menaregion #humanrights #politicalscience #climatechange #agriculture #conflicts #palestine #colonization #cop28 #genderequality #civilsociety #solidarity #intersectionalfeminism #girl #environmentaljustice #systemicissues #emotionalexpression #collectiveaction #marginalizedcommunities #justice #awareness #youthleaders #algeria
