Title: Founder & CEO
Name of Organization: Nemi
Snacks
Regina Trillo started Nemi
Snacks based on her experien-
ce as a consumer in Chicago
grocery stores.
Originally from Mexico City
and now based in Chicago,
Trillo felt unrepresented the
moment she set foot in Chi-
cago grocery stores. She found
well-established brands por-
traying Mexican cultura in a
stereotypical way, brands that
were unlikely to upgrade their
ingredient list and innovate in
the marketplace.
Nemi Snacks was founded
in mid-2019 with a mission to
elevate Mexican cultura in the
United States through high-
quality and delicious food.
Nemi Snacks are crunchy sticks
made from seeds and nopa
-
les (a.k.a. prickly pear paddle)
in Mexican-inspired flavors.
Nemi Snacks works directly
with Mexican farmers, uses
real chiles and spices and no
artificial colors or ingredients.
Nemi Snacks is on a mission
to diversify people's snacking
experience, share high-quality
snacks, and elevate and cele-
brate Mexican cultura.
Trillo is also an attorney
and has spent her legal career
advocating for human rights
by providing legal services to
immigrants and implemen-
ting programs on a range of
global human rights issues
in Latin America and the Ca-
ribbean, Africa, and the Uni-
ted States.
WORDS OF WISDOM:
"S
tarting Nemi Snacks led me
to see that fear was nothing
more than my imagination, and
if I could imagine limitations, I
could also imagine an unlimited
reality filled with freedom,
fairness and love. When I
experience self-doubt or feel
stagnant, I remind myself it's an
illusion and that limitations are
real until we make them unreal."
