"Our first-ever Visionary Voices List recognizes 15 Black creators who are innovators in their fields, using TikTok to educate, entertain, and advocate for the Black community while making a significant impact both on and off the platform," the company announced in a blog post.
The honorees include social media creators, musicians, small-business owners and educators. The list is a part of TikTok's Black History Month programming, which will also include music playlists, themed TikTok Live sessions, special hashtags for Black creators and in-person events to celebrate #BlackTikTok in Los Angeles.
