Jyesha Johnson

Jyesha Johnson, hailing from the Mississippi Delta, discovered her passion for writing through a first-grade short story contest. This passion led her to pursue a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism at the University of Mississippi. After graduating, she returned to her hometown to work at the local newspaper. 

In her four-year tenure as a Multimedia Coordinator/Reporter at The Enterprise Tocsin, Jyesha seamlessly blended reporting with graphic design, contributing to a dynamic news environment. Her investigative skills, collaboration, and ability to meet tight deadlines played a crucial role in the publication's success. She covered many topics, from local government to the town’s rich history. 

She later transitioned into being a creative voice for a nonprofit organization that served the community while focusing on education, community, and health. As a Staff Writer at Delta Health Alliance, Jyesha's journalism and communication expertise shone through, producing high-quality content across print and online platforms. Her commitment to continuous learning and trust-building contributed significantly to the organization's success. Johnson was responsible for capturing the essence of the nonprofit organization and sharing it across multiple platforms.

Alongside her roles, she boasts awards such as 1st Place in Political Ad (Color) and 2nd Place in Political Ad (B&W) at the Better Newspaper Contest 2019 by the Mississippi Press Association.

After embracing the charm of small-town life, she traded it for the vibrant city of Houston. Currently a Creative Content Producer at Kriv Fox 26, Jyesha drives compelling narratives across television, digital media, and social platforms.
