You might have discovered Mel Mitchell on Instagram or TikTok because of her infamous Black teacher at Hogwarts, but her journey in virality started way before that. It was in the twitter world that she captured the attention of everyone, especially the blogs. Twitter is where she took her comedic genius and turned her twitter page into her own standup set made of black cultural tweets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always go to the example of the tweet I made about Morris Chestnut that went super viral two years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mel\u2019s tweets have continuously gone viral for the past several years. From Morris Chestnut replying to her tweet about him to blogs stealing her comedy and claiming it as their own. \u201c The blogs would steal my tweets and take my name out of it and use it as their own,\u201d said Mitchell. It became a snowball effect for her because the more she shared the more things would go viral and the more everyone would reshare her content as their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t just have to face her content being plagiarized but things being taken out of proportion. \u201cIt was a joke, and they were tripping on that song,\u201d said Mitchell when told me about the time her tweet on how absurd parts of Cater 2 U <\/em>by Destiny\u2019s Child were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been able to find my niche this year which you can\u2019t take away from me. You can\u2019t steal my material and crop my name out of it. This is my face, my voice, and I\u2019ve written these jokes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last several years Mel had been working tirelessly to find her niche on the internet, something that would make her stand out. As she was scrolling through Instagram and saw a woman do a skit as a teacher on Europhia and she heard a voice in her head saying do it but make her black. \u201c It’s going to be funny and change your life. I was like okay Jesus and I set up my tripod,\u201d said Mitchell. Trusting her gut, intention and faith paid off for her because more than fifty videos later, celebrity reshares, and likes it’s only the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI make these skits for Black people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
