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 over 250 founder interviews, donated 750 nourishing meals, reached 1.1 million people across social media, 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.
