Meet the Team: Male Flores

Male is a fundraising coordinator with a big heart for animals and an even bigger belief in community. As part of Animal Equality’s Philanthropy team, she connects with supporters who are just as passionate about protecting animals as she is.

Based in Guadalajara, Male lives with her husband, two dogs, and cats. She starts most mornings with CrossFit (often alongside her husband, who’s also plant-based!). She loves discovering new plant-based restaurants while traveling. Male often unwinds with a good book or dessert, such as pan dulce or plant-based ice cream.

Her path to advocacy began in college, when she worked on a project about animal abuse.  A classmate asked, “Are you plant-based?” That simple question changed everything. Male began to reevaluate her everyday decisions and committed to eliminating animal products. Not long after, she discovered Animal Equality’s work and knew she had found her place. She started as a volunteer more than a decade ago and never looked back.

Male’s passion is helping people find their place in the animal protection movement—whether it’s through giving, learning, or speaking up. Her advice? Don’t wait to be perfect. Start wherever you are, and take the next step.

You can start at your next meal by reducing or eliminating animal products. It’s one of the most powerful ways to help farmed animals!
