Mitchum spent his early career covering breaking news on the streets of Baltimore as a young African-American videojournalist at WMAR-TV, the city’s ABC affiliate. His first and second books, POSTIVE VIBES 1 & 2, have been positive assets for many of his followers on social media who often hold small forums to share his upbeat messages and positive mindset. Recently, Mitchum added a new YouTube Channel to his arsenal of positivity, called “Positive Vibes Preston” that anyone can like and subscribe to.
“For 18 years, I worked what we call ‘Nightside,’ the 3-11 p.m. shift. From uplifting human-interest stories such as feeding the homeless, to a diabetic girl who designs bracelets to raise money for research, and the heroics of the men and women during 911, to the tragedy of fires, the Baltimore riots, murders and poverty, I witnessed the best and worst of the human condition in America. Frankly, I got tired of the negativity and wanted to give back to the community,” said Mitchum. “When my father died of a heart attack, I began writing as therapy to process my grief. Now, as a father of two wonderful young sons and owner of a small family business that my father launched, I embrace the power of positive thinking to make the world a better place for all of us and encourage everyone to take meaningful investments to uplift lives across the country as we move beyond this pandemic.”
Known for his perpetual and wide grin, Mitchum is the founder of the Preston Mitchum Jr. Foundation (www.pmjfoundation.org), a non-profit organization designed to create change in the Greater Baltimore community through investing in at-risk youth, providing back-to-school resources, funding after-school and career programs, offering holiday donations, and beyond. His vision is for the Foundation to empower families through programs and services that foster growth and kindness and combat violence.
“I’ve lived my whole life filled with purpose and serving others in need. I’ve seen firsthand the life-changing role positivity can play in the lives of others. As I share this powerful message on social media and through my books, I am confident each person who undertakes this kind of introspection and mindset pivot will become happier, more self-aware and intentioned,” Mitchum noted.
“Each day, we need to make contributions for the betterment of our society, and for all families. Together, we need to join forces to support each other through these troubling times, and we can only do that when we understand our own ability to be at peace, happy and committed to uplift each other.”
A portion of the proceeds from sales of the series of books funds the Foundation enabling Mitchum to influence more young lives in a direct, meaningful way. POSITIVE VIBES 3, 2 and POSITIVE VIBES are an imprint of Erin Go Bragh Publishing, are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and wherever books are sold online.
