In this episode of Conversations with Vegan Women Leaders, we interview Jane Velez-Mitchell, the founder and content editor of JaneUnChained, a multi-platform animal rights and vegan lifestyle media outlet.

A TV journalist for decades, Jane’s experience includes reporting for the nationally syndicated show Celebrity Justice, and a six-year stint, hosting her own show on CNN Headline News, where she ran a weekly segment on animal issues.

Jane is the author of four books including her memoir iWant: My Journey from Addiction and Overconsumption to a Simpler, Honest Life, and Addict Nation: An Intervention for America.

Based in Los Angeles, Jane is also the producer and host of the award-winning vegan cooking show New Day New Chef on Amazon Prime.

In this interview Jane talks about:

• Her decades as a mainstream TV report and host

• The role alcohol played in her keeping her sexuality hidden

• Coming out as a lesbian while co-hosting a radio show - and the aftermath

• How being in relationships with women was different to being with men

• Sobriety and humility

• Why she started JaneUnchained and her predictions on the future of mainstream media

• And more
