There’s something so radically beautiful and satisfying about seeing Black women on social media doing whatever they want, whenever they want. Whether in college or navigating the professional world, Black women deserve the most appropriate representation. Oftentimes, as consumers, we get sucked into the vortex of mainstream beauty and lifestyle standards that aren’t always attainable to every demographic. It can leave some feeling left out, and that’s never fair when there’s room for all of us to shine.
Whether you’re looking for travel vlogs to plan your next trip or in need of a reliable hairstylist that won’t ghost you (it’s happened to the best of us), these creators deliver reviews and insight like no other. These 10 TikTok creators are undoubtedly worth the watch!
McKenzie Taylor
Howard University’s darling girl is McKenzie Taylor. She’s an Atlanta native who shares, along with her followers, a love for Skims and Longchamp tote bags of every color and size. This HBCU girly gives us a taste of campus life and doesn’t shy away from bathroom GRWM videos that always include a dance break to her favorite playlists!
Cedoni Francis
This 24-year-old content creator was just a tech girly working at Google, now she’s the “luxurious big sis you never had!” If you’re looking for a well-dressed woman who gets to the bag and isn’t scared to spend it, Cedoni is your girl.
