Since the age of two, Vasavi has traveled to India every summer with her older sister, Pallavi, and her mother, Geetha. During those visits, she witnessed extreme starvation and poverty--harrowing images that forever changed how she saw the world.
Vasavi, at a very young age, became crystal clear about her reason for being: to feed the appetites of people and nourish their souls. This burning desire to feed the mouths and minds of others has fueled her life with purpose and has taken her on many paths towards serving others in the world.

Vasavi Kumar is often described as "your kick-in-the-pants guide en route to your desired destination." Her action-based philosophy and passion for helping people realize their dreams has positioned her as a sought-after contributor on multiple media platforms. She is the co-author of the bestselling book Succeeding in Spite of Everything. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. She has made numerous appearances on TV as the "Keepin\' It Real Guru" on NBC affiliate Kansas City Live and as a featured Life Coach on VH1\'s Basketball Wives. She is an entrepreneur at heart and holds dual Master\'s degrees in Special Education from Hofstra University and Social Work from Columbia University.

In 2013, at the peak of her successful career, Vasavi decided to take a dose of her own medicine and began relentlessly pursuing her life-long goal of nourishing the minds and mouths of the people. For her, that meant enrolling at The Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts in Austin, TX, to become a vegetarian chef. She dedicated her life and work to show people how to nourish themselves by raising their consciousness about what they eat, how they think, and what they can do to serve even bigger in the world.

In 2014, Vasavi travelled to Coonoor, India to deepen her knowledge of Ayurveda Therapy and Nutrition. By the end of summer, she successfully completed her training at the Ayurveda Retreat Hospital. More than learning the theoretical aspects of Ayurveda, Vasavi embraced Ayurveda has a way of life--to help heal herself and those around her.

Today, she writes about relentlessly pursuing your dreams.
