                                                               Did I make mistakes along the way?

                                                               mistakes did I regret? Zero. The

            I was very fortunate to
        be the one to create and
        produce a nationally aired

        TV series, “Plant-Based By
        Nafsika” that first hit
        mainstream television just
        as veganism started to
        really take off. 2016 had
        been declared the “Year of
        the Vegan” and I seemed
        to have come on the scene
        at an opportune time. I

        created the concept in late
        2015 and by Summer of
        2016, my show began
        airing to 70 million
        households across America.
        Did I just make that sound
        too easy? Well, it wasn’t.


        Let me first start by saying
        that I truly believe that
        anyone can accomplish just
        about anything they set out
        to do, as long as they
        believe in themselves and

        do not give up. I know it sounds                       B. As Wayne Gretzky used to say,
        cliche, but honestly, it is this                       “You miss 100% of the shots you
        mentality that has brought me to                       don’t take.” So, I rather miss a few
        where I am today. In fact, for me                      shots along the way than never
        personally, hearing others say I                       attempt to score a goal.
        can’t do something makes me all the
        more determined. It seems to fuel                      Trust yourself, trust in yourself, and
                                                               most importantly, discard the
