Episode 779 | Tuesday, September 16th at 6:00pm EST | The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show

My name is Paula Hairston; I have a Master's degree in Adaptive Special Education Curriculum. I also am a business owner, educator, artist, and beauty consultant. I’m passionate about helping people make memories, whether through a beautifully hosted event, a fun class, or a pop-up business opportunity. I believe in leading with heart, offering quality experiences, and making event planning easier and more accessible for everyone. In addition to running Social Flare, I’m passionate about painting and designing custom tennis shoes, turning ordinary footwear into wearable art. I love hosting paint classes, leading makeover workshops through Mary Kay, and providing spaces where people can express themselves creatively and confidently. Everything I do is rooted in my belief in creativity, connection, and empowering others to shine.

Social Flare offers affordable event space rentals at Social Flare Event Studio. We provide a beautiful, flexible venue for private parties, classes, pop-up shops, and creative events. While we focus on venue rental, we also offer add-on services such as tables, chairs, and basic setups to help our clients bring their vision to life.

We officially opened in 2023 after recognizing a need for affordable, stylish event spaces in Midlothian, VA. After months of planning, securing a location, and curating a welcoming
atmosphere, Social Flare Event Studio was born.

The vision came from my passion for bringing people together and creating memorable experiences, my love of art, and my desire to help others celebrate life’s special moments. I wanted a space where creativity, community, and celebration could meet — whether through painting, entrepreneurship, or personal milestones. I wanted to build a space where creativity, community, and celebration could thrive without breaking the bank. It’s inspired by my love for hosting, entrepreneurship, and empowering others to showcase their talents.

As entrepreneurs, we pour so much time and energy into creating content—but here’s the thing: you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to show up online.

One strong piece of content can become 10 (or more!) different posts across platforms. This is how you stay visible, consistent, and top-of-mind without burning out.

Here’s the process I use to maximize every piece of content.

Episode 776 |August 26, 2025, at 6:00pm EST| The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show

I am first generation American. My parents came to America in 1964. My mother was from former Yugoslavia, and my father is from Bratislava in Slovakia, originally Czechoslovakia. I am the youngest of six children in my family. I took a leap of faith and left my job with Henrico County Public Schools to pursue my dream of having my own bakery business. This July, we celebrate six years in business. My husband, Rob, and I are an inseparable duo team. We make everything freshly baked to order. We pray and bless our desserts so that whoever eats our delicious desserts will feel love from Grandma. We pray that the taste combinations spark happiness and bliss to make their day better with the love and positivity that we pour into our batters and bake with love. We take old classics and put a new twist on them, giving them and our customers a unique taste experience. We also like to give back to our community and help those in need.

When you hear the word “grant,” do you only think about free money? 💸 The truth is, not all grants look the same and as an entrepreneur, you need to know the difference so you can go after the money!

In this episode, I’m breaking down four types of grants every small business owner should understand:

• Grants that give you money directly
• Grants that pay for services you need
• Grants in the form of cohorts or accelerator programs
• Grants that act like contracts

We will have more conversations like this at The Platform Builder® Summit—VIP Experience, which will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025, and Saturday, November 8, 2025, in Richmond, VA!

Learn more and register at www.PlatformBuilderSummit.com

Who should attend: Women entrepreneurs, business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, authors, speakers and consultants.
