African-American Marketing Association (AAMA) reposted this
This is a PRIME example of racism/double standards in the creator economy This creator went viral for discussing sexual acts during an interview Since then she been signed to UTA agency , starting a podcast, and NOW in rolling stone Why is this an issue? ➡️If a black woman had done the exact interview she would be labeled as ghetto or a hoe ➡️White creators blow up from mediocrity while black creators struggle to even get paid brand deals ➡️When black creators do get paid it’s significantly less than white creators Why don’t brands invest in black creators ? The rumor is that black creators aren’t marketable they don’t sell as much or aren’t as brand friendly as white creators Yet black creators are the ones creating the trends, challenges , etc…they set the TRENDS and garnishing brands/companies millions of dollars organically…. This is not to downplay this young lady BUT we can’t ignore these disparities if we want to see any type of change for black creators What are some ways we can improve this issue? ➡️Pay black creators fairly ➡️Include diverse roster of creators ( not just a token or lighter skinned creator ) ➡️Provide the same opportunities ➡️Create platforms for black voices
