LOS ANGELES Black creators have used TikTok to launch successful careers as artists and influencers. But even after growing a following in the millions, they may still feel pressure to change the way they act.

Challan , a model and TikTok influencer with over 5 million followers, is known for fashion and beauty content accompanied by her iconic blonde fro, high energy and often amusing routines.

When asked by HuffPost what considerations she has to take into account as a Black woman who makes content, she said she often has to watch how loudly she speaks and how she chooses her words.

I have to be very cautious of how I say things because I think its very easy for your tone to be taken negatively before its taken positively, Challan told HuffPost Sunday at a TikTok event honoring Black voices in Los Angeles.

Still, she said she wants to be known as a safe space for her TikTok followers.

Thats a really nice feeling as a creator that people find solace and comfort in your content. So I just really want that to further grow and for people just continue to feel safe with me and my content, she added.
