More Famous Veggies - Benjamin Zephaniah
Ok ok - everyone asks about the super cool Benjamin Zephaniah
So, what can I say - hmmmmmm?? - Well he is a really talented and compassionate guy - and of course a fellow vegan. I cant think how or when we first got talking a few years ago but as well as filming with Benjamin for VeggieVision he has also come to some of my Veg Fests and calls me from time to time - which is great!
I remember when he turned down his OBE - he called me and said that he had got over 5,000 letters and just a handful were negative - the rest were supporting him and congratulating him on saying no. I was over the moon that during this hectic time he still had time for a chat with me 
)
As you can imagine Benjamin is asked to many events, asked to speak and support different organizations and charities and I know he couldn't do more than he does. Last year he spent part of the year in China and Jamaica.
Benjamin is a huge martial arts and fitness fan and exercises every morning (he has a gym and sauna at the bottom of his garden!)
When we filmed with him for VeggieVision we stayed behind to watch his one man show too - it was fantastic and I would strongly recommend that you don't miss his tours. He told us of his upbringing and how it has lead to where he is today - An inspiration to us all.
Pls check out our mini programmes with Benjamin and look out for the outtakes and much more coming soon!
Have an outstanding day
