7 Black Content Creators Who Are Killing The Game

@beleafmel

Representation matters. As more and more children and young adults are becoming interested in the world of media this statement is continuously reigning true. We are often inspired to create because of those who have come before us in the creative fields we are trying to enter. As new content emerges, highlighting our predecessors keeps us humble and hopeful for the future. I wanted to highlight 7 black content creators who have inspired me to pursue my passions and go after my dreams.

The Daily Davidsons

@tiffanydarlyn

Tiffany and T.J. Davidson are a young black couple who have been married since 2014. They are the parents of four beautiful children Jaiden, Chance, Carter and Nova. They have been vlogging on their YouTube channel, The Daily Davidsons for ten years. The channel originated with Tiffany's personal vlogs in 2009. It slowly transitioned into a family vlogging channel once they found out they were pregnant with their first child, Jaiden. Since they have created a successful business based on their vlogs, and their individual photography and videography ventures. They inspire me to create and live in the moment with my family.

KevOnStage

@kevonstage

I've been laughing at Kevin Fredericks' skits, vlogs, and podcasts since 2010. Even though Kevin is older than me, I've always related to him because of his experience growing up in the church. His vibrant spirit and ability to make people laugh effortlessly has helped me through many tough situations and created something for me and my family to bond over. He recently opened his production studio with his family and friends, KevOnStage Studios, and I would love to be able to create content with him one day.

MrsKevOnStage

mrskevonstage

If you hadn't already guessed, Melissa Fredericks is the wife of KevOnStage. She is a loving wife and mother, published author, and the host of The Love Hour Podcast amongst many other things. I see myself reflected in Melissa as she discusses real life issues such as the importance of self-love and owning her womanhood. If you haven't followed her yet, what are you doing?

Raven Elyse

@ravenelyse

Raven Elyse is another YouTuber that has inspired me from an early age. When I was younger I would binge watch her makeup tutorials and fashion videos. Her style was and still is captivating. She's not afraid to try new things to change her style and I've always admired that about her. Raven reached 1 million subscribers in 2018. She continues to grow her platform as she manages being a boss business woman and an amazing mother to her daughter, Ziya.

Beleaf In Fatherhood

@beleafmel

Glen Henry or "Beleaf" is a husband and father of four beautiful children. Beleaf strives to highlight the importance of black fatherhood in a society that believes that black fathers are missing. I admire Beleaf and his desire to promote black love and black families. A strong message in everything that he and his wife, Yvette create relates back to their love for Jesus. His YouTube channel and music will make you laugh, cry, and smile.

Evelyn From The Internets

@evelynfromtheinternets

I've been following Evelyn since I was in high school. Subscribing to her was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Evelyn is an independent, driven, and extremely talented writer and YouTuber. Her content is inspirational and goal oriented. Overall, she creates content that starts a conversation about the importance of self-care and self-awareness while promoting dream chasing.

Sopha Rush

@sopharush

Sopha Rush is a content creator focused on spreading the gospel and the love of Jesus Christ to her followers. She is the author of multiple prayer journals, produces faith-based YouTube videos, and she is constantly putting positive messages out into the world. She juggles managing her brand, @livedeeplyrooted and being a loving wife to her husband, Anthony, and supermom to her son Harlem. She and her husband recently announced that they are expecting baby number 2! Sopha has inspired me to continue to grow deeper in my faith. If you're looking for more Christian content creators to follow, you'll love her.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
