Watch episode 175 with Tonya Kay:
Our guest today is an actor, dancer, film-maker, and director, activist, and so much more. Tonya Kay is a brilliant and vibrant artist whose rebel personality and compassion easily shines through her work.
Today on the podcast we get to sit down with Tonya to learn what makes her tick. When dancing burlesque, acting in popular films, or talking about her raw vegan lifestyle, it is clear to see that Tonya is a dedicated and authentic leader. Today we have the honor of discussing her roots and learning about her passion for the arts at a young age. We also talk about what drove a girl from a small town, who had an experience in her family’s slaughterhouse, to living a vegan lifestyle and spreading the message.
Tonya gets intimate with us and shares what it was like receiving a cancer diagnosis during the pandemic, and goes even deeper to talk about what that experience was like as a health-conscious raw vegan. Tonya is breaking the rules and paving her own path, fueled by her huge heart and incredibly artistic spirit. Let’s learn all about Tonya!
“Just like a spiritual journey, the alternative medicine path is about the journey. Just the path of seeking has been helpful. That is the journey – the seeking is the journey for me.” – Tonya Kay
