ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Tracey Winter Glover, JD, is an animal caretaker, vegan activist, truth-seeker, and author. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Michigan, where she received a BA in history and political philosophy, followed by a law degree in which she focused primarily on constitutional and international refugee law. After almost a decade in Washington DC, practicing administrative health care law, she made something of a pilgrimage to India, where she spent a summer in the foothills of the Himalayas studying yoga and meditation and re-evaluating the purpose of her life, ultimately leading her to leave the practice of law and move to Mobile, Alabama to be closer to her aging father, from whom she inherited her lifelong love of animals and the natural world. In 2014, she co-founded a non-profit intersectional animal rights group, Awakening Respect and Compassion for all Sentient Beings (“ARC”), of which she remains the Executive Director. In January 2019, Tracey adopted 8 chickens rescued from a bankrupt chicken farm in Colorado that had turned off the heat and stopped feeding the 40,000 birds in their chicken houses. This was the beginning of Sweet Peeps Microsanctuary (not so micro anymore), which is now home to over 50 unique and personable individuals, most of whom were rescued directly from the meat industry and which occupies most of her time. She is the author of the book “Lotus of the Heart: Living Yoga for Personal Wellness and Global Survival.” In 2021, she released a short award-winning documentary entitled “Until All Are Free,” which examines the far-reaching impacts of animal agriculture and traces the roots of social injustice and our environmental crisis back to our hierarchical and exploitative relationship with “the other.” Tracey’s first children’s book, inspired by the chickens at Sweet Peeps, “Chickens Are Animals Too! Fannie Goes to Washington,” is scheduled to be published June 30th through 12 Willows Press.
