During Black History Month, these are the Black Creators on TikTok that You Should Follow in February and Beyond
These Creators are Doing Big Things on Tik Tok
As February draws to a close, I knew I was behind in doing an article that needed to be written. But I have to be honest, I didn’t know how to start the piece. I was stuck and usually, when I’m stuck I procrastinate until it’s too late to do the work. I didn’t want to procrastinate this time. It wouldn’t be fair to the people who reached out to me and shared a piece of themselves with me.
So here are my TOP 16 Black Creators on Tik Tok: (in no particular order):

These Black creators have thousands if not millions of followers and provide fashion, social commentary, and creativity on TikTok. From informing followers of racial injustice to showcasing their businesses, these creators provide followers with a wealth of information.
I love following these creators (and many others) who work hard to provide clear, concise news and information. It is evident in the quality of their work. Their videos are presented well with details and links so that viewers can do their own research.
The following is a creator I wish to spotlight. She inspires me with not only her business success but her personal success. Her company also deserves your attention. She was kind enough to provide some background about herself and her company on Tik Tok:

7. Which Black person inspires you? My great-grandmother has always been my inspiration. She was a Pentecostal holiness minister and started churches all over North Carolina. She managed to build and pastor churches during a time when women were not allowed in the pulpit and not allowed to own land in their name.
