Also, special thanks to Nafsika Antypas for sharing my article “Sexism and Speciesism in Not-So-Female Friendly Hollywood” with worldwide readers and viewers: https://www.plantbasedbynafsika.com/single-post/2017/09/13/Sexism-and-Speciesism-in-the-Not-So-Female-Friendly-Hollywood Nafsika presented her latest talk as an invited speaker at CMCS / CUNY Graduate School of Journalism 5th international conference in New York City. She is a heroic example of being a critic in media and for launching American’s first vegan lifestyle TV show Plant-Based Nafsika on FYI channel, A & E Television Networks (read more: https://www.plantbasedbynafsika.com/about). I highly recommend watching her latest episodes and following Season 3 – coming up!
