OSC2: Hometown?
LC:  Alameda, CA

OSC2:  What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?
LC: That I once spoke Swahili with President Obama.

OSC2: What is it about the mission of your company that really ignites you?
LC: Our mission to use nutrient-rich, climate-smart crops like moringa to improve nutrition and livelihoods for women around the world.

OSC2: What’s a favorite childhood memory of food that you have?
LC: I used to love going to my grandma’s house and picking berries and tomatoes off the vine from her wonderful garden.

OSC2: What’s one thing that keeps you up at night?
LC: I am constantly thinking about how I can be a better leader and what more I can do to support Kuli Kuli’s team and farmers. I never feel like I’m doing enough.

Kuli Kuli is the world’s leading moringa brand with the highest quality moringa on the market. Moringa is a leafy green more nutritious than kale that provides powerful anti-inflammatory benefits rivaling those of turmeric.

Their Moringa Superfood Bars, Pure Organic Moringa Powder, Moringa Green Tea Wellness Shots, and Organic Moringa Green Smoothie Mixes are made in the US with moringa sourced directly from women’s cooperatives and small family farmers around the world. By importing a portion of the moringa to the US for their products, they’ve created an international market for moringa and a sustainable livelihood for their farmers.
