Thank you Neighborhood Community Development Fund for the connection!! 🙂‍↔️

One of the most rewarding parts of our coaching program is truly getting to know our clients, not just their business, but their vision, voice, and goals.

To kick off our coaching client spotlight, meet Shanell Lamere, founder of Shanell Lamere Films, a woman-owned creative business rooted in intentional, story-driven filmmaking right here in Pittsburgh.

“Working with Dr. Mom Digital Marketing through the NDCF has been such a blessing. She helped me get clear, organized, and confident in my marketing and systems in a way that still reflected my voice as a Black woman creative. I’ve grown so much in these months, both in structure and mindset. I’m forever grateful for our connection and would recommend April to any entrepreneur who wants real strategy and support!”

Thank you, Shanell. This is exactly what our coaching program is designed to do, help founders run their marketing with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

If you’re looking for cinematic storytelling that feels human and meaningful, we highly recommend checking out Shanell Lamere Films. Learn more at www.ShanellLamereFilms.com

I finally shared my moving vlog on YouTube!🙌🏽 I didn't want to rush it because this was really a transition I had to grow into.

This space has already been shifting something in me. I moved from a place that held so much survival energy into a home that feels more peaceful and aligned with who I'm becoming. Watching it back felt emotional because you can actually see the shift happening even in the small moments.🙂‍↔️

If you've outgrown a space mentally before you physically moved, you'll probably feel this one. Here's the link to watch. Definitely let me know what resonates with you the most!🥰🌸 https://youtu.be/96rHjigvc-Y

I feel grown grown now lol! 🥴😂🥰✨

Grateful for life, for growth, for the lessons (even the hard ones that had me questioning everything lol), for my babies, for the love I’ve given and received, and for the woman I continue to become.

34 feels like stepping into a version of me that I’ve been working toward for so long. More self-assured, more at peace, more intentional. More her.🙂‍↔️💕

I don’t take any of this for granted, it led me here.😮‍💨And whew, I’m looking forward to what’s next!

So today, I’m celebrating me…for getting this far, for doing the work, and for continuing to show up, even when it’s hard. Here’s to 34 and all the magic that’s coming with it! 🫶🏽🥂✨

🎥 New Episode Drop! 🎥

Hey, everyone! 🌟 It’s been a busy season over here at Shanell Lamere Films , and as I continue to grow through my passion for storytelling, I’m excited to share the journey with you in a brand-new episode of . 🌿✨

This one is close to my heart—it’s all about "Overcoming The Fear of Success & Embracing Change." As I’ve been working on some amazing projects and growing my business, I’ve realized that sometimes it’s not failure that holds us back, but the fear of actually achieving what we’ve worked so hard for. 🎬 There’s something about stepping into that next level that can feel overwhelming, but trust me, it’s necessary for our growth.🙌🏽

In this episode, I’m sharing personal stories from behind the scenes, lessons I’ve learned while building Shanell Lamere Films, and how I’m pushing past that fear of success to step fully into my purpose. I know this will resonate with so many of you, especially my fellow creatives, entrepreneurs, and those of us balancing motherhood along the way. 🥰

Catch the episode by clicking the link in my bio! Let’s keep growing, creating, and telling these stories together. 📸✨
