Conversations with Jessi Colwell

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessi Colwell.

Hi Jessi, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started out making white ribbon merchandise for lung cancer awareness. I make a little of anything and everything, custom. Shirts, bags , coffee cups, Tervis tumblers with the straws. I take 20% of each product sold to buy lunches for piedmont ATL brain tumor center patients.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Due to health challenges living with stage 4 NSCLC for the past 10 years. Naturally some days are better than others but I’m determined to make a difference for others in need. I still struggle bc I can’t pay for advertising, it’s mostly word of mouth or through my “Colwell Designs” Facebook page

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I don’t work I have a physical disability due to stage 4 non small cell lung cancer. This is more less a hobby but I try to give back to others to spread hope

How do you define success?
Being able to drop off chik fil a cards for patients lunches at piedmont ATL brain tumor center, where I still go for regular MRI’s and visits to keep a check on things. Since brain Mets left me with left side weakness and a seizure disorder
