Kola Goodies is an immigrant, woman-of-color led company with big dreams.
I was working long hours in tech and pretty stressed. I was looking for natural ways to nourish myself and be balanced, the way my Amma did for me when I was growing up in Sri Lanka. I craved this green, healthy, delicious Sri Lankan breakfast drink called Kola Kanda that my Amma would make for us everyday, but sitting on the West coast, far from where I grew up, I didn't have the time or the ingredients for it.
The quest to solve today's wellness needs naturally, and the opportunity to increase cultural representation in this industry, evolved into our super yummy, ethically-sourced goodies you see today.
