![](http://sharmainemitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_4831-150x150.jpg) February 14, 2020 I’ve been hesitant to share this for a few reasons, but it’s such a huge part of my story, and writing is therapeutic for me. Also, if you Google this topic, you won't find much besides besides medical journals.…
![](http://sharmainemitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/boundaries-150x150.png) This one little statement is so simple (no pun intended—Simply@ Lemonade ?), but so HUGE! After reading an article about setting boundaries with children, Lebrean and I started being very intentional about it with Davis. A lot of my stress as a mom comes from from feeling like I have to get everything done and…

This project was such a huge…
![](http://sharmainemitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/pool-150x150.jpg) Today, I simply had to step away from my work, and it was the best decision I could have made for my mental health. I was so focused and determined to find a solution to an issue, and like I often tend to do, I spent way too much time on it, so much so…
![](http://sharmainemitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/img_Hollis_brand_refresh-150x150.jpeg) As I was beginning a reprint of Hollis Innovation Academy's general brochure, I felt like the brand needed refreshing, even though we were only entering into the school's third year. Since I began the role of Marketing & Media last year, I used the trademark blue and green (with white) for everything, and I felt…

In this day in age, it isn't difficult to obtain high resolution, quality photos; most of our smart phones are capable of producing impeccable images. But when I want my photos to have a little extra "umph" (depending…
![](http://sharmainemitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/img_Hollis_building_1-150x150.jpg) I'm so excited to finally be able to share that I have decided to take advantage of a wonderful opportunity and expand my portfolio by accepting a Marketing & Media role with an incredible S.T.E.M. school in the Atlanta Public Schools system: Hollis Innovation Academy! Hollis is such a phenomenal place, and I'm beyond thrilled…
![](http://sharmainemitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blog-post-thumbnail-150x150.jpg) I FINALLY got around to retaking the photo for my website header last week, and it's something I should never have had to do in the first place. I broke one of the basic rules of design/marketing/communication: Whenever possible, make content "evergreen"! Below is the former photo I used for my header. See the error?…
![](http://sharmainemitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_brand_board_kpa_feat-150x150.jpg) During the past few weeks, I've done a lot of marketing for Kool Pix ATL. In the interest of full disclosure, it's my family's business. We are a professional full-service photo booth company, and we have been absolutely blown away by how much we've been working…
