My 15 Favorite Black YouTubers

On YouTube, there are videos showing you how to do everything. From perfecting your liquid eyeliner to making Angry Bird cookies, YouTube has it all. I have noticed that the more popular YouTubers that gain most of the praise from audiences across the globe are white people. I am here to showcase my favorite black YouTubers who you all should begin to watch.

1. Shirley B. Eniang

This British beauty knows all things fashion. From her various lookbooks to her shopping hauls, Ms. Eniang's channel is an easy reference for subscribers who are trying to find their personal style. She also has a blog, Shirley's Wardrobe, which gives readers a more intimate peek inside of her life and her fashion/beauty journey.

2. Vicky and Cameron of "Life with the Logans"

If fashion and beauty trends aren't really your thing, vlogs maybe your next addiction! The word "vlog" is a combination of the words "video" and "blog". Basically, people use a camera to film a typical day in their life. The Logans are a young married couple in the Chicago area who do just that. Vicky and Cameron's wide array of friends and family members who make appearances in their videos will surely keep you interested with their playful banter. Vicky also has her own YouTube channel on hair and beauty! This YouTube couple is a must, I mean who doesn't love black love?

3. Kevin and Makael of "theskorpionshow"

This outspoken duo from North Philadelphia creates videos on every subject from Toni Braxton's biopic to the Presidential Race. Their work does not go completely unnoticed with a fanbase including celebrities like Lady Gaga and Brandy. With a successful YouTube channel since 2008, these two deserve their own primetime television talk show.

4. Kingsley

When I got my fourth generation iPod Touch for Christmas in the seventh grade, I jumped straight unto the YouTube app. Through my constant searching of videos, I came across a video of a black person ranting about his hate for birds. This hilarious YouTuber is Kingsley. Kingsley has gained mainstream attention throughout his years as a YouTuber. He has made funny rant videos about silly things like birds, but on more serious topics like how people view his sexuality. Another YouTuber who you could easily laugh along with while also learning of a new perspective.

7. Jouelzy

My all time favorite YouTuber! Jouelzy, a self-proclaimed ex-member of the natural hair side of YouTube, inspires black women to become more independent and to also speak on their own opinions regardless of what anyone else might think.
