Musical activism

It’s not often that a person comes along who can sing, write, photograph and cook delicious food, but that’s just a snippet from the repertoire of skills that the brilliant Katie White has. Katie is a singer-songwriter and guitarist, as well as a content writer, food creator and photographer at Olive Wood Vegan. What’s more, the talented Katie uses all of these skills for the vegan cause. Katie’s powerful songs spread awareness on another level — they accessibly but emotionally tell of the plight of animals, helping listeners to understand that animals deserve lives free from harm. We talk to Katie about her songs and ask her why she thinks music has the power to change the world.
