People often ask me what I believe in, if I am spiritual or religious. They are intrigued when I tell them that I am an Animist, someone who believes that living beings other than humans also possess souls and spirits. I have always been an animal lover, but throughout the years, especially after coming to the U.S., my desire to do something for the voiceless has intensified. I found purpose and meaning in helping them. Joining different organizations helped me meet many people who believe and are fighting for the same cause, and to know that I am not the only one.
We all have our purpose and Animism is mine.
