The first episode of Beyond the Kale features Maya Madsen, founder of America's #1 Black-owned gourmet vegan cookie company.
After founding the San Diego-based company in 2015, Maya saw a 10,000% increase in sales in June 2020. Following the horrific and tragic death of George Floyd, people across the country were looking for ways to support Black communities and Black-owned businesses. At the time, Maya's Cookies was featured on numerous lists of Black-owned businesses, resulting in the huge jump in sales.
During this episode, Maya and I speak about how the experiences in her life prepared her for that challenge, why it's important to continue supporting Black-owned businesses, and her go-to spot when she's craving delicious vegan food in San Diego.
Maya's favorite spot for a delicious vegan meal is Plant Power Fast Food.
