Each rose has its own thorn — some flourish early, others endure harsh weather. Working on this project taught me that beauty is born from perseverance, not flawlessness. 🌹

It's #TransferTuesday and today we’re highlighting, Joel Mitchell (@joelamiritv).

Since arriving on campus in 2023, after transferring from Tallahassee State College, he has spent long nights in the SJGC building perfecting stories and assisting peers, work that made him a Florida News Awards finalist in just a year as a broadcast journalism student.

Behind Joel  Mitchell’s smile is the promise of a bright future for Black men in media. His journey echoes the words of pioneering Black male journalist Ed Bradley who said: “I always believed you can be whatever you want to be.”

⬇️

This summer, Mitchell completed a New York University fellowship established in Bradley’s honor to strengthen the pipeline of Black men in media. He’s embracing the chance to shape journalism’s future by helping newsrooms better reflect the communities they serve.

⬇️

Now interning at the Tallahassee Democrat, under the guidance of alumni mentors, the #FAMUSJGC senior draws strength and tenacity from his Jamaican immigrant family’s sacrifices, overcoming spirit, and belief that respect and humility open every door.

⬇️

Praised by professors and mentors for his work ethic, commitment to volunteering, and command of multiple formats of production and storytelling, he is well on his way to becoming a media mogul and mentoring those who follow.
