Returning home, she launched Kuli Kuli in 2013 to bring the nutrient-dense green to American consumers while creating income for thousands of smallholder farmers, mostly women, worldwide. Previously at the White House and Tesla, she is a UC Global Food Initiative 30 Under 30 honoree whose products now sell in thousands of stores.
