RADIO VERSIONSeason 6 - The Women of Power that Inspire us in 2019, the women who are making a difference in the world! Today on our third show in the series - We feature entrepreneur Eve Mitchell founder & CEO of Hippy Pop Popcorn!Eve Mitchell, born to hippy parents, Monique & Sam Mitchell, her mom taught drama and music in exchange for their tuition tab at Howard School in Montecito, a school for the wealthy and privileged. Eve wasn't a rich kid, she didn't have the right clothes, she didn't feel like she fit in. She had a rough run through grammar school, girls weren't nice to her. She felt like she was the dork of the class. Kids were cruel. So...Our story begins in the parking lot of the Trader Joes, when Eve was just 12 years old. Cheryl Giefer, an Armenian beauty and former modeling agent turned full-time mother of two, discovered her - Literally chasing her down in the parking lot at the Trader Joes!Things moved quickly, and Eve became a successful fashion model in high school at 13 years old. Her new-found career was like a dream...She was whisked away to fashion week, was photographed by such well known photographers as David LaChapelle and appeared Italian Vogue.As her modeling career heated up and her conservative hippy parents started tightening the screws, Eve cashed out her bank account, found her passport (her mom hid it, because, as Eve puts it "she knew she was a flight risk" ) Eve snuck out of the window, ran away from home and went to Paris.In Paris Eve connected with her NY agency, and lived out 3 short months of her dream in a small studio apartment on the Champs-Élysées across the street from the famous Club VIP, where she was treated like a movie starABOUT HIPPY POPHippy Pop Popcorn is the best snack of the hippy generation, reinvented!
