Black TikTok influencers are killing the game with relatable and captivating content that is for us, by us. A recent Nielsen study found that Black creators “generate a higher media value compared to non-Black creators in fashion, lifestyle, and gaming.” The same report showed that Black creators outperformed their non-Black creator counterparts in terms of follower growth and interaction rates.
Black TikTok Influencers
Despite the reigning dominance of Black culture on social media, white TikTok creators are still out-earning Black creators by 35%. To bridge this gap, we need to be active consumers of our content. Ultimately, what we give our attention to online yields money for the person on the other side. Here are a few Black influencers at the top of their game on TikTok that you should hit the follow button on ASAP.
