This is the remarkable trajectory of twin brothers Padmond Annor Sr. and Padmond Annor Jr., two prolific and gifted social media influencers, who are famously called The Mitch Brothes.
Padmond Annor Sr., widely known as Nana Mitch and Padmond Annor Jr., fondly referred to as Schardo Mitch, are a dynamic creative duo , who hail from Ghana. Renowned for their work as creative directors, editors, and content creators, they are also celebrated for their bold sense of style and cultural influence.
Nana Mitch made history as Ghana’s first Snapchat lens creator, but both brothers have long shared a remarkable gift, that of transforming ideas into content that inspires, uplifts, and connects.
Yet beyond their creative acclaim, The Mitch Brothers are using their platform for something even greater impact. Through their philanthropic initiative, Smile4mation, they are championing joy, hope, and human connection for those who are often unseen or unheard.
Smile4mation is more than a campaign. It’s a bold belief that a simple smile can spark change and restore hope.
In fact, Smile4mation is spreading smiles, building hope, impacting lives
Founded by Nana Mitch and Schardo Mitch, Smile4mation was born from the conviction that even the smallest gestures can bring light to someone’s darkest moment. In a world grappling with economic hardship, mental health challenges, and emotional isolation, this initiative by The Mitch Brothers offers a moment of relief a reminder that kindness still matters.
The idea was inspired by the brothers’ personal experiences and a deep awareness of how overwhelming life can be. The Mitch Brothers saw how many people carry silent burdens, navigating pain, anxiety, and loneliness with no one to turn to. That realization sparked their mission: to use their influence not just for entertainment, but for empathy.
Smile4mation exists to remind us that we are never truly alone. Its goal is not just to make people smile but to prove that joy, connection, and compassion are still alive and worth cultivating.
This isn’t a seasonal or fleeting effort. It’s a long-term movement to shift the culture toward kindness one genuine, intentional act at a time.
The Mitch Brothers believe in the power of the seemingly small, a kind word, a warm smile, a listening ear. These gestures ripple outward, creating a lasting impact. A smile, to them, is more than an expression it’s a symbol of hope, a sign of unity, and a quiet but powerful force for change.
And the Mitch Brothers have been using the initiative to make a call to action
And they have shown that the Smile4mation isn’t just for The Mitch Brothers but it’s for everyone.
This is a call to action no matter your background or status to intentionally choose kindness. Whether through supporting a neighbor, encouraging a stranger, or uplifting your community, everyone has the power to make someone feel seen, valued, and loved.
As Nana Mitch beautifully puts it, “A smile can change the world for someone. And when we all commit to spreading smiles, that’s when real change happens.”
What started as a heartfelt idea has evolved into a growing global movement, one that places empathy, kindness, and hope at its core. The Mitch Brothers are proving that when creativity meets compassion, transformation follows.
In a world that often feels disconnected, Smile4mation is a reminder of what binds us together. It’s about healing invisible wounds, restoring dignity, and showing up for one another when it matters most.
“This is a mission that includes everyone. Whether you’re young or old, affluent or struggling, in Accra or anywhere else in the world you have a role to play.
“Let’s reject the notion that kindness is weak or naïve. Let’s prove that love, empathy, and community are the real sources of strength.
“Together, we can build a future where compassion is the norm, not the exception where smiles are not rare, but abundant.
Because in the end, a smile isn’t just an expression. It’s a revolution”.
