Pinky Cole Receives Her Flowers

Cole is a force to be reckoned with and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Her mission to spotlight vegan food as great for our planet and fun has brought her a multimillion-dollar business. The expecting mother has revolutionized perceptions of vegan eateries. She is at the forefront of a movement, satiating a deep-rooted need for people to be part of a community where doing good and having a tantalizingly good time go hand in hand.

In addition, Slutty Vegan recently opened their 13th location on Spelman College’s campus, allowing Atlanta University Center students to indulge in the restaurant. From the quirky menu items to all she has done for her community, no one is more deserving of this recognition than Cole.
