Meet Emily O’Brien! Emily is the Founder of @ComebackSnacks and the Co-Producer of @CriminallyAcclaimed. 🍿📽️
If those two witty names didn’t give it away, Emily is a speaker who has been to prison. 😵
In 2015, Emily was arrested for drug smuggling, and was given a 4 year sentence. A lot of bad decisions had led to Emily being arrested. Mostly, it was falling in love with a person who took advantage of their relationship. 💔
Emily took responsibility for her actions and pleaded guilty. She decided to view prison as a chance to start over. It was in prison that Emily was inspired to start a popcorn company: Cons and Kernels. 💡🍿
In her talk, she uses her business and story to raise awareness for the public about the human face of ex-convicts. She serves as an inspiration for people struggling to find their place in society. 🙌
