How we Started
✨ Our Story ✨

👋 My name is Jerell Mixon. I’m a husband to a wonderful wife and father to six beautiful children—four girls and two boys.
💛 First, I want to thank my family for allowing me the time and space to pursue this project, even if it meant missing a few birthdays or hangouts along the way. Your support means everything.
📖 The Beginning
Cups of Expression began in 2025 as a financial necessity, but quickly grew into something far deeper—something I had always longed to do: tell stories that encourage, uplift, and make people laugh.
🎨 I’ve always needed a creative outlet that could bring light to others and make a lasting impact. Growing up in church, Jesus was always central to my life. Even through my own trials, tribulations, and failures, I came to understand something vital: not everyone has someone in their corner, someone rooting them on.
☕ Cups of Expression is my way of being that support for others. It’s about using humor, hope, and the Word of God to help people see the joy and purpose in life—even during tough times. My goal is simply to encourage people through faith and laughter, one cup at a time.
🛑 The Pause
As I began designing this brand, I initially thought I’d just “throw something together.” But one night, God slowed me down. He spoke clearly—not just Cupsofexpression as one word, but: Cups… of… Expression.
💡 I realized then that I was being called to create expressive cups—characters we could relate to, reflect through, and find joy in.
👥 The Sippersons
From that moment, characters began flooding my mind—each one sharing part of my personality, thoughts, and emotions. These became the Sippersons, a family of expressive cup characters living in the Sipwell Valley World.
🙏 My hope is that everyone who becomes part of the Sipperson Family feels motivated, inspired, and reminded to stay creative in whatever God is calling them to do.
