Our Story
Catrina's Gourmet Popcorn is more than a gourmet popcorn company—it's a mission rooted in resilience, hope, and second chances. Founded by survivor and entrepreneur Brianna, every bag is handcrafted with purpose and inspired by a 33-year family recipe.
Our Story
Catrina's Gourmet Popcorn is a survivor-owned business built on resilience, family tradition, and purpose. Founded using a 30+ year-old family recipe passed down from the owner's mother, every batch is handcrafted with premium ingredients, is gluten-free, and contains no artificial preservatives.
As a teenager, the founder Brianna became a victim of human trafficking. After escaping in 2012, she realized she had rarely seen examples of survivors who were not only healing but truly thriving. Determined to change that narrative, she revived her family's beloved popcorn recipe and founded Catrina's Gourmet Popcorn, not only to honor her family's legacy, but to become the example she wished she had seen and to inspire other survivors to believe that a life of hope, purpose, and success is possible.
Today, Catrina's Gourmet Popcorn is about far more than exceptional popcorn. The company is committed to educating, empowering, and employing survivors of human trafficking and those at risk while building a trauma-informed workplace where every individual is treated with dignity, compassion, and opportunity. Through every bag of popcorn, Catrina's Gourmet Popcorn strives to create opportunities, inspire resilience, and remind others that healing and success can go hand in hand.
Catrina's Popcorn is popping hope and restoration one kernel at a time.
"No matter what you endure, only you can decide who you become."
