Black artists and influencers have used TikTok to make successful careers. One of those creators is Challan. She is a model and influencer on TikTok with over five million followers. But as a Black woman, she says she must be careful about how she acts on TikTok.
Challan needs to watch how loudly she speaks and how she chooses her words. She doesn’t want people to think she is negative. But she also wants to be a safe place for her followers.
Some Black creators have a hard time on TikTok. They say they must change how they act to make others happy. This can make them feel bad. They also face problems when other people steal their ideas. This is why some Black creators protested last year.
Challan remains hopeful. She focuses on creating content that will make her followers feel happy and safe.
