Slutty Vegan: The Plant-Based Movement Feeding the Culture

Pinky Cole didn’t just open a restaurant — she sparked a movement. What started in 2018 as a late-night craving and a shared kitchen in Atlanta has grown into a multi-million dollar empire that’s rewriting the rules on what vegan food can be. Bold, unapologetic, and absolutely craveable, Slutty Vegan proves that plant-based eating isn’t just for kale salads — it’s for the culture.

With locations in Atlanta, Birmingham, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Brandon (FL), and beyond, Slutty Vegan has expanded its footprint while keeping its roots firmly planted in Black entrepreneurship and community impact. Founder Pinky Cole — daughter of Jamaican immigrants, Forbes Next 1000 honoree, and Essence cover star — raised $25 million in Series A funding and built a brand valued at over $100 million. She’s also an author, with her cookbook Eat Plants, B*tch earning an NAACP Award nomination.

But Slutty Vegan is about more than burgers. Through the Pinky Cole Foundation, Pinky has paid student tuition, gifted LLCs to college graduates, and supported Black families in building generational wealth. She’s not just feeding people — she’s investing in them.

For anyone who believes in supporting Black-owned businesses that actually walk the walk, Slutty Vegan is a must.
