How a 4-Week Fast Turned Into a Plant Based Lifestyle
Anant talks with Natasha Orumbie, founder of The Vegan Patty Lady.
Natasha Orumbie started The Vegan Patty Lady after a four-week religious fast turned into a permanent plant-based lifestyle. She describes how going vegan helped her overcome lifelong asthma and allergies.
A former cake baker, she set about reinventing the Jamaican patty with whole-food ingredients such as walnuts, mushrooms and lentils, keeping a clean-label approach.
Orumbie recalls winning the UK Black Business Show Launchpad competition, the brand’s move into retail including Costcutter, and her plans for what comes next.
