This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hampton U chapter.

As National Women’s History month begins, it’s important to acknowledge the hard work women have put in. Most importantly, it’s important to acknowledge the efforts of women of color since they are not always recognized. The world of film and other creative content has long been dominated by men with little acknowledgement of women’s work. Even when women’s work is praised, the women of color are left out. The following list of content creators are all women of color who inspire others and are packed with beauty, style, humor, and travel tips. These women have certainly made an impact on women and people of color who previously had few to look up to.

 

  1.  Asia Jackson

Asia Jackson is an actress and content creator based in Los Angeles, CA. Her YouTube videos are centered around beauty and style. Her goal is to encourage people to be the best versions of themselves through fashion, beauty, and the arts. Her channel is my personal go-to when I need inspiration for outfits and jewelry. Ms. Jackson’s channel is for every girl into chic, street, or casual vibes. 

 

  1.  Blogilates (Cassey Ho)

Cassey Ho a.k.a Blogilates is a fitness instructor based in Los, Angeles, CA. Her YouTube videos consist of intense workouts meant to tone your body and build body strength.

  1.  Jackie Aina

Jackie’s videos are full of fun and quirky videos along with series discussions about people of color and series issues. For all my beauty gurus, Jackie’s channel is a go-to.
