Hi fam,
Did you know that KULA was recently featured in The Vancouver Sun? Asha, our incredible founder, sat down for an interview with Stuart Derdeyn where they engaged in open conversation about our journey, the challenges of getting on shelves as a small business, and what we're doing to make Afro-Caribbean flavours more accessible in the plant based industry.

But when her tech career took her to B.C. in 2015 that changed.
