10 Great BIPOC Content Creators & Influencers to Follow

Creating Inclusive Instagram Feeds 

In light of the current social and political climate, many of us are looking for ways to incorporate change and equality in our daily lives. While there are many action items for supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement, one small change I have implemented myself is to actively create a more inclusive Instagram feed by following more BIPOC content creators and influencers. 

As I mentioned in my post on resources for allies of the Black Lives Matter cause, I have certainly fallen into the pattern of primarily following people who look like me. This change may seem small and insignificant, and perhaps it is in light of the ways we can practice inclusivity and fight for equality through the political process. However, I think it’s at least a step in the right direction. 

In the past days, I’m sure you’ve seen many posts linking to Black content creators, writers, artists, and leaders in various communities. It has been a joy to expand my feed, giving me a glimpse into passionate creatives I had been missing out on. I’ll link to a few of the posts sharing BIPOC content creators and leaders to follow, but I wanted to share ten accounts that I have particularly enjoyed getting to know in the past few days.

Courtney Quinn Color Queen – @colormecourtney

Courtney Quinn is the color queen. She creates some of the most stunning monochrome inspired images. If you scroll through her Instagram feed, you’ll see she primarily focuses on one color at a time. And as if managing one cohesive instagram wasn’t enough, Courtney runs a secondary account, @colormemagic, devoted to her “nerdy side” and Disney style. I just came across her recent posts about Harry Potter, for example, and not only are the styles she recreates totally magical, but her captions are insightful and educational.
