We’re going to Reading Vegan Festival! 💚
A huge thank you to Reading Vegan Festival and Sparkle Vegan Events for inviting me to share a story that means more to me than I can really put into words.
On 19th September, I’ll be telling The Light of Uni – How One Cow Changed My Life.
Uni was one extraordinary cow who came into my life at a time when I needed her more than I knew. What began as a quiet connection in a field changed the direction of my life, led to the rescue of other animals, inspired My Light Sanctuary, and eventually grew into the wider Sentient Vision.
This won’t really be a “talk” in the traditional sense. It will be a recollection — Uni’s story, our story, and a little of the journey that followed. A story about sentience, trust, connection, and what can happen when we stop seeing a herd and begin to see the individual. 🐮
I’m incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to bring Uni’s story into the room and, in a way, allow her light to travel a little further.
If you’re coming to Reading Vegan Festival, we would absolutely love you to join us at 12.15pm.
Come and meet Uni, hear her story, and discover why one quiet moment with one cow changed everything.
And to everyone who has followed, supported and believed in our animals and this journey — thank you.
You are part of it too. 💚

Her light was never mine to keep. It was mine to pass on. ✨
⭐️TALK ANNOUNCEMENT⭐️
12.15pm - ‘The Light of Uni - How One Cow Changed My Life’ by Jen Sharam
What happens when one animal stops being part of a herd - and becomes someone you know? Jen shares the deeply personal story of Uni, one extraordinary cow whose trust came into her life at a time when she needed it most. What began with a quiet connection in a field would ultimately change the direction of her life, lead to the rescue of other animals and inspire and the wider Sentient Vision.
Through Uni’s story, Jen explores sentience, connection and the individuality we can so easily overlook in the animals around us - and how simply learning to truly see another being can change the way we see our own lives and the world around us. A story about one cow, one moment of connection - and a light that was never meant to be kept, but passed on.
