As my identity as an ally grows, the parts of my life that are affected have grown as well. Recently, I have decided to add my allyship into my life on social media and TikTok has actually been one of my favorite places to find disabled, POC, and LGBTQ+ advocates and leaders! I really enjoy learning things from the communities that I am trying to be an ally for, and following these creators is a great way to do that.

So, here are some of my favorite TikToks from marginalized communities!

1. Rollettes LA on TikTok

I really enjoy the Rollettes on TikTok! They post a lot of fun content and are really changing how people think about disabled bodies!

I can't even begin to express how much I adore Paige! She spreads so much awareness about Autism and disability and is just gorgeous and always "aesthetic". Expect to see more of her TikToks in this post.

3. lin on TikTok

Also one of my favorites! Lin has such a chaotic personality and always makes me laugh while still bringing awareness to ASD.

Imani is one of my FAVORITE activists. She is always fighting for POC and disabled people along with all other marginalized communities. Her blog is also super informative!

Another great source of information is the blm account! It is not verified, though, so I cannot confirm if it is an official account.

8. LGBTQ on TikTok

I really love collaborative accounts because it gives you a better look at the whole community rather than smaller parts!

9. paigelayle on TikTok

Yup, here she is again. I just really enjoy her content, y'all!

There are so many more creators and TikToks that can help you grow as an ally. One category I did not feature here, but that I love, is the deaf community. These are great places to start, but do not get too lost in TikTok like I always do!

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
