ABOUT KHALIL RAFATI
From the streets of Skid Row to the beaches of Malibu, entrepreneur Khalil Rafati became the hero of his own story. After years of struggling with addiction, Khalil got himself clean, transformed his life, and then he quite literally put his money where his mouth is by opening SunLife Organics - a health food and juice store that has become a favorite of A-listers and wellness fanatics alike. Since then, he’s grown his business and authored two books based on his experiences and philosophy, “I Forgot To Die” and “Remembering To Live’.’  From homeless and addicted to a millionaire business, Khalil’s journey is a testament to his work ethic. his hunger, and his drive to become 1% better every day.
