A State for Black Creativity | Blog
Perhaps you've seen the headlines.
"How the Internet was transformed into an arena to Embrace Black Creators" Vice reports.
"TikTok was created in the hands of Black creators. How come they aren't able to claim credit?" Elle asks.
"Marketers are underpaying Black Influencers Despite Trying to make Black Lives Matter," Bloomberg report.
There's a chance you've seen it on your own feeds. Companies that use anti-racist art and views to increase their influence, yet not paying their creators their worth. You might be a company which is part of the field of creative and noticed that Black influencers are underpaid relative to the amounts paid to other platforms and influencers. You might be thinking about the huge differences between individuals and organizations who shared the black squares on the 20th of June in 2020. Or our world the present.
In the shadows of the headlines is the era of cultural appropriation which has a long history. Black culture is a reality in the present, because of the simple copies and downloads of content via the internet creators of digital media are confronted by theft of cultural property on the scale of. Each theft costs much more than intellectual property. Creative theft also deprives creators of their opportunities.
"I think one of the biggest risks associated with the appropriation and taking of Black art and creativity is the loss of possibilities, " says teacher Hallease Narveaz. "So much about being creative and discovering opportunities revolves around being at the right spot in the right place at the time to be at the correct place, with the necessary capabilities and knowing the appropriate persons. And so every incident of crime, it is an opportunity lost to stand out with a new perspective. The challenge isn't over to us."
Being a participant in the market of creators, we believe it's our obligation to provide an opportunity for equal play that is open to creators of diverse backgrounds to work together. In the current issue, we invited Black creators to discuss their stories of credit and compensation with us along with our readers. Along with the rest of our members, we hope to end the rampant appropriation of creative work and demand equitable and fair compensation from brands through thoughtful sharing, and the use from Black creatives.
For the duration of this month, we'll feature Black Creatives on all of our platforms. We'll answer questions such as:
- What is the distinction between cultural appropriation and appreciation?
- How can businesses and creative non-Black people properly give due respect and credit for Black Creativity?
- What's the danger of theft, appropriation or theft and what impact will it have on Black creators financially and psychologically?
Make sure you follow our updates on TikTok as well as Instagram for us to answer these questions and other teachers that you already know and admire.

I was first introduced to Nedra via Instagram through her wellness and mental health posts and memes. They're always smart, thoughtful and inspiring. One of the things I enjoyed most about her curriculum was the fact that it empowers you and gives you the skills to regain your strength. I'm thankful for Nedra Her mission, her dedication to her students, and for her work she's been assigned to carry out.

Eva Woolridge on Karen Jordan
I'm a huge fan of animation and would love to discover this world of creativity further. I believe that TikTok is an ideal for a hands-on experience with new animated creations. It's always interesting to observe Black animators intertwine blackness with their art. It's all about representation and I'm looking for a mentor who can incorporate my life experiences into teaching techniques in the art of animation.
