Amanda Hearst, the philanthropist and heiress to the Hearst Corporation, was an associate fashion editor at Marie Claire when she found herself writing only about sustainable fashion at a time where those two words never seemed to be used together.
In some ways, it's kind of ironic that I feel so connected to animals and nature because I grew up in Manhattan - the opposite of a natural environment! But my mother is a huge animal lover, so we always had rescue animals in our apartment, and she would always take us to the country on the weekends. I remember one time, one of our cats caught a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest.
All those experiences led me to found my charity: WELL/BEINGS, along with my dear friend Breanna Schultz . We created a reimagined non-profit that works at the intersection between animal welfare and climate change. Our campaign focus shifts each year but always funds dynamic programs at the interconnection between the health of animals, people, and the planet. It's humbling and a privilege to be one of the very few non-profits to do this. You have been working in this space for decades.
