Faith and Business: Teaching their two teen boys about entrepreneurship created a popular snow cone company.

Strawberry Letter

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Marcus Sonnier.

Marcus and his wife, Marvis, realized their sons, Ryan and Dylan were very good, and experts asking for money as you would expect from teenage boys.
They decided they needed a way to earn some extra income, while also learning the values of being an entrepreneur.
From that idea, Snowie Atlanta was born. They have been involved in every aspect of starting and developing this business, which has been a real eye opener for them. They are now starting to understand the hard work, dedication as well as, costs associated with opening and operating our own business.
Their hope and prayer was that they learned operating our shaved ice business would provide them with skills that will guide them throughout their lives.
