Fave BIPOC/Black YouTubers
Not 'CornbreadTube,' Necessarily. These are BIPOC people I follow.
(In case you're wondering: CornbreadTube is like Breadtube [AKA LeftTube or something], only with Black content creators. FD Signifier did a video about it titled "Break Bread in 2021; just check that out for all the context you'll need and that's all I'll say about that.)

Twitch
I've been out of the Twitch game in awhile; months later I'm back in another hiatus and I may need to stay in it until things... settle down. But I can tell ya a few things.
I Always Tune In To:
And I want to shout out two particular channels:
The Melanin Mafia
T.M.M. was created because Black Vtubers, unfortunately, are pushed to the back. We are hidden from the community and we can create just as good if not better content as the non-black vtubers.
We will bring visibility. We are here. We exist.
--From their official Website
You can also visit them on their Twitch channel.
LOUD! DJ Party
listentoDOGA is the founder of this DJ Party. Hosted entirely on Twitch, DJs play their sets and raid train to raise funds for various charities. Visit listentoDOGA's Twitch page for future events!
