To celebrate Black History Month, I’m so excited to bring back TTL’s black influencer spotlight! As a black influencer, I feel that it’s so important to lift up my fellow black creators and celebrate their success and it’s an honor to use my platform to do that.
In case you missed it last year, I kicked off BHM by highlighting some of my favorite fellow black creators on my blog HERE. These creators are the best of the best. They are each so incredibly brilliant, inspiring, and enrich our lives with their content. If you’re not following them, you should be so be sure to check out that blog. Then everyday in February I highlighted a new influencer on my stories which I’ll be doing again this year featuring a whole new list of creators. It was so important for me to not repeat my list from last year because the list of talented black creators is never ending. But I still want to bring some shine to last year’s daily Black Influencer Spotlight so be sure to check them if you missed it last year :))
2022 Black Influencer Spotlight:
