Hi! 👋 I’m Yasmin Kahkesh, a 17-year-old from Canada, and the founder of Changemakers—a nonprofit dedicated to advancing healthier living and social sustainability.

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 shaping the future of food. Since then, we’ve conducted 250+ interviews with industry-leading founders, donated 750 nourishing meals, produced educational nutrition videos (garnering 1.1 million views), and delivered TEDx Talks, keynotes, and speaking engagements for thousands. 

Changemakers remains committed to one goal: reimagining what we put on our plates to position healthy living as a right, not a privilege.
