I am one of many Black creators.

With everything going on, I haven’t felt very inspired to create. Especially not a blog post. But in light of the Black Lives Matter movement and the progress being made, I want to use my voice to help non-Black people support us at this time.

On Instagram I posted that “I’m all for solidarity idgaf about your little black square. It’s like having your partner cheat on you and then bring you flowers.”

I wasn’t saying that I didn’t see the value behind the little black squares that people were posting to show that they stood with BLM, but I wanted it to be clear that it was not enough. Many people have donated and amplified Black voices on social media since, others have protested. And for that I thank you.

Yet I am not blind to the fact that there are still so many people who posted a little black square and that’s it. So, I said what I said. I meant it and I stand by it.

But that’s not the purpose of this blog post. The purpose of this blog post is to get you to follow Black creators and diversify your feed.

In my Instagram stories, I shared over 100 Black influencers. I was requested to share that list here, so I am. And while I don’t expect you to follow us all, I want you to be mindful that if you follow 1,000 people and did follow just 100 Black creators that’s only 10%.

Additionally, I implore you to do your own homework as well, as this list is not even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Black creators.

I want to point at that these are just handles. It is up to you to check them out and learn about the voices behind them on your own time.

Whoever you do decided to follow, don’t just follow, engage! Be a part of their community. Keep them in mind for opportunities that come along. Pull up a seat to the table for them, or (if you haven’t already) you might as well delete your little black square.
