When internet celebrity Charli D'Amelio posted her first TikTok in 2019, she was just a 15-year-old navigating high school drama and thinking about college applications.
Now, the family is leveraging that fame to promote their latest venture: Be Happy Snacks — a business built on positivity, purpose and, of course, popcorn.
"I never had the chance to help my parents start a family business," Marc says.
Building on that sentiment, the family is putting mental health awareness at the forefront of their latest venture, Be Happy Snacks.
Be Happy Snacks can be found at Walmart in-store or online.
