Beginning her professional career as a TV production assistant, Pinky quickly rose through the ranks to become producer at the age of 21; this background would inform her ability to create and excel quickly as an entrepreneur. Slutty Vegan is provocative enough to get attention of the masses, but it’s the taste, quality, and Pinky’s incredible attitude and relatable climb to the top that keeps communities nationwide and celebrities including presidential hopeful Cory Booker, Colin Kaepernick, Issa Rae, Tyler Perry, Martin Lawrence, 2Chainz, B.O.B, Missy Elliott, Usher, and dozens more lining up to take a bite. When Pinky isn’t running her culinary empire, bottling her now nationally craved sauces, or touring nationally on the road for the next pop-up stop (which she holds exclusively in minority-owned businesses), she spends her time giving back to her community, holding business workshops and donating computers to schools in need.
