🎥 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. 🥰

Hey beautiful souls, 🌟 I’m geeked to share a special piece of my heart with you this Mother’s Day—"Roots to Wings: The Essence of My Motherhood." This mini-film, enriched with spoken word, captures the rhythm and poetry of my journey as a Mommy. I've grown immensely alongside my two little ones, striving to be the best version of myself—for them and importantly, for me.🙌🏽

Thanks to The Pop District and the Warhol Creative Academy’s Documentary Filmmaking Cohort, I’ve had the chance to showcase this poetic blend of film on the big screen. Now, I’m excited to share it with all of you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! From my heart to yours, let's celebrate this journey of love, challenge, and transformation together. 🥰🫶🏽💖✨

🎬✨ So grateful and humbled!🥲 I got accepted into the Creative Documentary Filmmaking Fellowship cohort, under the magnificent wings of The Pop District's Warhol Academy!!!! The feeling is beyond indescribable.😩🙌🏽

My mantra for 2023 has been "Be Her Now," and whew, it’s been one hellava journey of growth, challenges, and discovering so much about myself! All these moments I spend stepping outside my comfort zone continue to amplify the power of this mantra.💪🏽

From the early days when I began channeling my passion into Shanell Lamere Films, it felt like I was stepping out on a wide-open path, just going with my heart and seeing where it took me. Now, in this present moment, I stand as a Storyteller—immersed, inspired, and in awe of my own evolution.😮‍💨🌸

Every project, film, and episode of , I’m reminded of the purpose of my journey: to capture the essence of our shared human experience, to uplift, and to create a bridge of understanding through stories.

Here's to more stories, more growth, and more moments. I’m so excited to see where this beautiful journey takes me. 💫🎥❤️

Hey Beautiful People!

After hours of piecing together stories, laughter, tears, and moments of pure resilience, I'm beyond excited to finally share the 'Empowering Mothers Montage' with all of you! 😩🙌🏽This project, born from my passions Shanell Lamere Films, and our black women's empowerment podcast, 'What She Grows Through', is a testament to our collective strength, grace, and dopeness of it all.

This visual tapestry is a tribute to motherhood, to being a woman, to being black, and to the power that lies in our stories. Each thread in this montage represents a journey, a challenge faced, and a triumph celebrated. As you watch, I hope you see a reflection of your own strength and resilience, and feel the warmth of our shared experiences.🥰

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the incredible mothers - Tiffinique, Shaniece, and Khamil, who opened their hearts to share their journeys. Each story is unique, powerful, and deeply inspiring. Connecting with you and learning about your paths has been an enriching and humbling experience.💕🫶🏽

In honor of Mother's Day, let's celebrate the women who nourish, guide, and inspire us. Let's celebrate ourselves, our growth, and the power of our narratives. After all, as we grow through our experiences, we become the flowers and trees nurturing others on their journeys.🤞🏽🌸💐🌺🌷🌻

May this montage serve as a source of inspiration, motivation, and empowerment. As we share our stories, remember that your voice matters, your story matters, and you matter.

With Gratitude and Love,

Shanell Lamere
