Along with many other ways we can support the #BlackLivesMatter movement, such as research/educating ourselves on Black history & anti-racism, donating to Black-owned businesses & signing petitions— here’s a different way you can support by showing love to the community of Black influencers/creators and their platforms.
This topic hits close to home because my company @hashtagcommunications helps brands craft their campaigns with creators so I felt it was important to speak up. It is seen time and time again that white influencers are being given more luxurious opportunities, being paid more, or having more brand deals knocking at their doors. Whereas a Black influencer could have the same mass of following and not see these same benefits.
Today I wanted to highlight some of my favorite black creators that I encourage you all to go follow/subscribe.
If you want to support further, buy their products/merch, like. comment, share their content and remember to DISABLE YOUR AD BLOCKER while consuming their content.
