“I became very disillusioned with actually using the law as a method for change,” Nisha Vora, founder of Rainbow Plant Life, told TODAY.
“I thought I went to school to use this tool to help people, but it was very eye-opening for me to see how the law was used for different means,” she told TODAY. “It was just a slow-moving, conservative, static force that was hard to use for actual change.”
But in the corporate law sphere, she described her work as “soul-crushing.” Instead of defending the country’s ideals, she was defending large corporations that often broke the law or wanted to avoid paying penalties. From a young age, Vora had always loved cooking. Her father used to record Food Network shows for her as a teenager, and she enjoyed spending time in the cookbook section at Barnes & Noble.
Going vegetarian was a simple decision, she said, as her parents are vegetarian, and she began to feel unwell and weighed down after eating meat. But going vegan was an entirely different journey. It was an easy transition once I had it thrown at me. It aligned with my values as someone who always believed in compassion and nonviolence.Using her Instagram as a portfolio, she found a job at a food startup in 2017 while still maintaining her Instagram andas a side hustle. By 2018, a publisher from Penguin Random House approached her asking if she wanted to write a cookbook, one of her childhood dreams from the days she spent reading them in Barnes & Noble.
