Camila Cabello is not only a well-known artist but also a committed advocate for mental health and wellness. She emphasizes the significance of community and has teamed up with her mother and grandmother to grow her business and launch the soda brand Olipop.
By promoting a healthier alternative to traditional sodas, Cabello is enhancing her role within the company, which she believes can positively impact people’s physical and mental health.
In a recent campaign, the singer showcases her deep connections with her mother and grandmother.
A mental health initiative
Camila Cabello explained to Fortune magazine how the brand aligns with her mission to support individuals grappling with mental health issues.
“High sugar intake and the components of typical sodas are very unhealthy, and excessive unhealthy eating can lead to significant health challenges, including mental health issues,” she pointed out.
Not just a business opportunity
Camila emphasized that her connection to Olipop goes beyond simple commercial goals; it also serves as a conduit for promoting healthy living and mental health awareness.
In a conversation with The Independent, she opened up about her personal battles with anxiety and her methods for coping.
“I’ve been dealing with anxiety since I was a child,” she recalled. “I was the kind of kid who would worry about irrational things. Over the years, I’ve discovered various ways to cope with it. Meditation is very helpful for me, and so is therapy.”
Spending quality time with family is essential to her well-being, as well.
Camila Cabello values her relationships with both her mother and grandmother and often highlights how meaningful their bond is. “I have the best relationship with my mom and my abuela. They’re my everything.”
So, she invited the whole family to support her soda venture.
They are prominently featured in her video “Real Love Makes Us,” directed by renowned filmmaker Daniel Mercadante (Park Pictures), which serves as OLIPOP’s first advertisement.
“Coming together with my family and friends and sharing moments of connection throughout my life, from family gatherings to enjoying meals and relaxing with friends, has influenced who I am,” she shared. “The advertisement offers everyone a glimpse into real moments that give me a sense of support and connection with my family and friends.”
“Success is often measured by major achievements. Yet, we overlook the fact that it’s the little things that truly define us,” she reflected on Instagram about the experience of creating the advertisement. “This was such an enjoyable shoot day, my family had a blast, and my grandparents truly shined.”
Camila Cabello also asserts that maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise are vital for good mental health. In an interview with Elle, she expressed, “I always feel better after I work out or eat healthily. I know it may sound cliché, but it’s genuine. I strive to fit that into my routine every day.”
