9 TikToks To Watch If You Are An Ally-In-Training

I've recently began my journey as an ally for social justice and TikTok has been a great source to learn things from!

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!

2. paigelayle on TikTok

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.

4. Ashleigh ! on TikTok

Ashleigh does a great job of supporting many different marginalized communities and fighting with them!

5. Kyne on TikTok

Kyne is a drag queen who loves math! I always learn something new when watching videos from Kyne.

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!

7. #blacklivesmatter on TikTok

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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
