About Meshali Mitchell
Meshali Mitchell is an amazing photographer and is currently in the restoration process of her 1886 farmhouse in Mansfield, Texas.
Although she has a very talented vision for photography and home remodel, it’s her love for people that stands out the most. In her words, “every human being has a story worth hearing and a story worth telling.” And she lives by those words daily, as she travels the world to capture images but also life stories through her work.
Meshali isn’t a mother just yet; however, she does a beautiful job of displaying what villagehood should look like.
