About Me
Asha Wheeldon is the founder of Kula Foods and co-founder of Chop It Up. She is a Plant-Based food maker and community builder. At 11 years old, Asha migrated to Toronto from Kenya where she was introduced to Caribbean, West African, and Middle Eastern cuisine and culture. After moving to Vancouver, Asha found herself looking for spices, food and ingredients that reminded her of home. Meaning “eat” in Kiswahili, KULA has always been focused on bringing folks together through food.
Their mission of community nourishment is at the heart of their organization, and they are committed to a sustainable future for all. You can find Asha co-hosting Chop It Up, a plant-based cooking series and podcast on a mission to share food stories of chefs and foodies in the Greater Vancouver Area.
