Dive Deeper:
When you grow up a creative, energetic child with an overactive imagination and a very supportive familyā¦ you get someone like Mindy Zaki: a girl whoās childhood dream bloomed with her. Like many children, Mindy had a pretty wild sweet tooth from the get-go. Candy was such a spectacle! It could pop like fireworks on your tongue, make any party level up, and was the perfect way to seal any celebration. She loved how much emotion could surround such little delicacies. Her fixation on sweets and confections grew from easy bake ovens and junior candy making kits to taking over her parentās kitchen with state of the art supplies. Even now, Mindy is still astounded by the variety of candy from country to countryā¦ but there was still so much more to be explored! Arenāt people sick of the same tired flavors? Grape, orange, cherryā¦ sure they were classicsā¦ but whereās all the creativity? Her drive and passion are truly impressiveā¦ and she wonāt quit until her candies are blowing Hershey and Mars out of the water.
On the outside, people look at Mindy and see a pretty girl all dressed up and reaping the rewards of a lifestyle that comes with the āpopularā crowd. Sure, thatās all trueā¦ but Mindy is actually a secret ānerd.ā Sheās always had a special appreciation for the creativity that Japan had with its candy and snacks. Delving more into their culture and customs, Mindy found herself getting really into anime. Then came mangaā¦ then comics.. then superheroes, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and even video games. Naturally, no one really knows this about her. She makes sure that side of her is well hiddenā¦ especially from Tiffany and the other Sugar Racers.Ā
Ah, the Sugar Racersā¦ sweet like sugar, of course! But sugar can be sour, too. Mindy understands this about herself, which is why she gets on with the crew the way she does. Compared to the other racers, Mindy is more on the laid back and open minded sideā though she knows sheās by no means a saint. Mindy can be quite self-centered. Everything she does, she does for Mindy. All of the ādo gooderā activities and events she participates in around townā¦ yeah thatās just to promote her business and paint her in a good light. Even when it comes to picking on Vanellopeā¦ Mindy knows its mean. She knows the bullying isnāt actually benefiting the racers. But it neither hurts nor helps herselfā¦ so she just lets it happen. Besides, itās much better for her to be in with the Sugar Racers than out with the glitch.
Mindy is no stranger to being underestimated. The girl is well aware her niche and colorful little dream is bit outlandish to someā¦ but sheās working her ass off for it. Itās not often that one person has both the creative and the business side to bring a brand to life, but Mindy does. Sheās a whirlwind of a one-woman show. One minute sheās rolling out numbers for budgeting, supplies, goals, quotaā¦ and the next minute sheās brainstorming new flavor combinations or imagining if candied ice cream drops would be possible. Maybe candied freeze dried ice cream? Her mind truly never stopsā¦ and donāt even get her started on packaging! In truth, running a business by herself can get overwhelming at times. Itās not uncommon to catch her speeding a few laps around the track whenever she needs to let off some steam.
Fashion is a huge outlet for self expression for Mindy. Sheās definitely the best dressed candy maker youāve ever seen. Not that thereās probably much competition in that departmentā¦ Whoās she got to beat anyway? Mr. Wonka? Please. Either way youāll hardly ever catch her in an un-styled outfit. (If you do, something is seriously wrong. Be prepared to handle her tears.) Mindy is always dressed to the nines and is one of those girls that can pull off anything. Girly, edgy, preppy, street, classicā¦ she does it all! Itās so much fun for her to style hop! However, while Mindy does love fashion, she doesnāt so much care for brands or labels like some of the other Sugar Racers do. She likes what she likesā¦ and it makes no difference to her whether she found something on the Chanel runway or in the corner of a thrift store. She knows she looks good and feels good regardless.
