EMile's Snack SHop
About Us
The home of joy, Pride, and the most dramatic clack on the internet.
Who Am I?
Your'e the Snacks, I'm Emile! TV host, producer, proud dog dad to Kingston, and the man behind every design you see here. Every fan and piece of merch in this shop is created by me. These aren't templates or mass-produced graphics, they're Emile originals.
Rooted in community
Everything here was born from the incredible community that grew around my Daily Gay Agenda Meetings, a little corner of the internet where we laugh, cry, learn, crochet badly, celebrate loudly, and choose joy on purpose.
The Snacks have turned this from a joke into a movement. Inside jokes became slogans. Storylines became designs. Moments became merch.
This shop exists because of all of you.
Why Fans?
My fan obsession started in 2013. I used to collect clack fans anywhere I could! The bigger the drama, the better the breeze...but I used fans to make a statement.
Then came my wedding. AJ and I walked into our reception clacking fans like two queer superheroes making our grand entrance. It went viral. Then Parkwood saw it. And then somehow I found myself with a fan in Beyoncé's Break My Soul music video. Yes. The actual Beyoncé, actual fan moment, actual fever dream.
Fast forward to today, and now I get to design and sell my own fans. A full-circle joy spiral if there ever was one.
A word from Kingston
Kingston, our beloved Snack Secretary, oversees quality control, morale, and all clack-related correspondence. He also demands treats for every successful launch.
What we stand for
This small business is Black & LGBTQ+ owned, community-driven, and built on joy. Every design is meant to make you feel bold, loud, loved, and seen — the same way the Snacks make me feel every day.
Thank you for supporting my small business and choosing joy with every clack. This is more than merch or fans, it's community-made magic. Let's stay loud. Let's stay proud.
