Safia "THE DMV POPCORN QUEEN" Westfield
Sweet • Salty • Signature • Royal
Founder – Popcorn Mania Confections
Before building Popcorn Mania, I had a successful career as an event producer and marketing expert in Washington, D.C., curating impactful experiences for brands and communities. But after a personal injury shortly after giving birth to my son, I found myself needing to shift focus—from the desk to the kitchen.
That moment changed everything.
What started as a creative outlet and side hustle soon became something much bigger. Today, Popcorn Mania Maryland is known across the DMV for gourmet popcorn, cookie jars, and handcrafted treats made with heart—and hustle.
My mission goes beyond snacks. I’m building a brand that creates joy, jobs, and second chances—especially for veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those navigating their own fresh start.
When I’m not running the business, I’m spending time with my son, dreaming up new flavor drops, and finding magic in the little things.
Popcorn with purpose. Snacks that serve. Crown on—always.
