Mel Mitchell isn’t afraid of a hot take. The Atlanta-based stand-up comedian, actor, and content creator caught our attention this year for her sharp commentary and quick wit. She’s also been named one of the Mash101 — our list of the voices shaping digital culture right now.“Whether she's breaking down a pop culture moment or reenacting a familiar online interaction, the throughline is the same,” writes Mashable’s Crystal Bell. “The joke lands because the observation is precise.”
