Feed your soul
Anushka Manchanda aka Kiss Nuka, artiste, producer and activist

I grew up an animal lover, but ate meat and dairy because like most people, I never made the connection between my love for animals and the food on my plate. In 2016, I came across a heartbreaking video from the dairy industry. Subsequently, I gave up red meat, chicken and dairy first; then a year later, fish. By 2017-2018, I went completely vegan, swapping out all my clothing, skincare and make-up for vegan versions. It was tough at the beginning and I was the only one in the family on a plant-based diet. Now, it’s so much easier. I have been cooking meals for myself, experimenting in the kitchen with a variety of vegan ingredients. It’s helped me build a beautiful relationship with food and the flow of cooking, and of course, it’s been great for my health.
