In Episode 54, I interview Lola Ojabowale, a Dartmouth College alum, and the Founder and CEO of Refolo, the food-tech startup that is ending nutrition-related diseases by offering plant-based recipes and customizable weekly meal plans inspired by the culinary legacies of people of color.
Lola was inspired to launch Refolo after her father found out that he had cancer and the treatments affected the types of foods that he could eat especially meats. As she assisted him through his treatment journey, Lola realized that there were hundreds of plant-based alternatives. She also realized that her father was not the only person who needed help. Many African American communities navigate food deserts and have few alternatives for fresh fruits and vegetables. Refolo plans to solve these problems.
