When I was six, I decided to stop eating meat. Even as a child, I felt a responsibility for animals and the planet. Later, I became fully vegan and that choice grew into my life’s mission. Today, my goal is to inspire others to eat more plant-based meals, because small choices can create a big impact. That’s also why I joined Miss World Netherlands: it gives me the platform to share this mission on a larger scale. Through my BWAP project Wat eet je dan wel (“what do you eat then”), I’ve seen how collaborations can turn personal conviction into real change. To me, that’s the proof that together, we can make a bigger difference.
