Extraordinarily articulate and composed, Haile has been featured on The Food Network, Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, the Drew Barrymore Show, and a dozen other talk shows. She's the founder of The Happy Organization—a non-profit that empowers kids to embrace self-care and plant-based nutrition. She's also the author of Living Lively—a cookbook with 80 plant-based recipes and a full outline of her 7 Points of Power to obtain a balanced, grounded, and actualized state of being. Haile has a quiet power that is magnetic in force. You'll be drawn in the minute she starts to speak.
