Veggie Girl Power Interview Series 2010!

Last year I did my very first Veggie Girl Power Interview Series. It featured a few of my veggie girl idols like Marilu, Chloe Jo, Rory, Sarma, Amanda Cohen, Erin McKenna and more. I had so much fun celebrating the strength, grace and wisdom of these superwomen that I knew I had to make my VGP series an annual event. After weeks of planning, I'm excited to unveil this year's Veggie Girl Power ladies. Lets meet them! And see the Interview Series Schedule...

What is Veggie Girl Power?? This series celebrate female trailblazers who Inspire Us! These veg-superstars are women with experience, wisdom, creativity, skills, heart, passion, grace, drive, dedication and personality!

Inspired! Again. And a few months ago I was at a panel event here in NYC and finally met Chloe Jo Berman for the first time in person. She told me how much she loved my first VGP series and said I should definitely do another one. Well nothing like a little inspiration from Chloe Jo to kick me into gear. The next day I got to work on my wish list of ladies to interview for this year's series. I sent out invites and today I am announcing them to you!..
