Hi! 👋 I’m Yasmin Kahkesh, a 17-year-old from Canada, and the founder of Changemakers—a nonprofit that spotlights industry-leading companies in food and wellness to inspire healthier living.

Growing up, I was surrounded by brands reimagining our favourite foods into healthier alternatives, empowering better choices. I became fascinated by how food does more than fuel our bodies—it sparks ideas, unites movements, and expands our capacity for change.

Three years ago, I launched Changemakers to highlight the founders pioneering the future of food. Since then, we’ve conducted 250+ founder interviews, donated 750 nourishing meals, reached 500K+ people across social media, and hosted live interviews for 1,000+ people.

Changemakers remains committed to one goal: reimagining what goes on our plates so healthy living becomes possible—and transformative—for all.
