Ohhh!! I love this! I went through all my interests and replaced generic white men that made content on them with femme and poc folks. I’ve got a lot of subscriptions, so I’ll add a full list once I’m at a full size keyboard and screen.

I'm not a YouTube watcher but I loooove this thread. Love showcasing female talent!

Here are some of mine:

Jenna Phipps: she's got a lot of creative content, currently focusing on completely rebuilding an abandoned home, but her older content features lots of crochet and sewing (plus her two cute dogs!). I like her for her positive attitude and silly/goofy personality.

Jordan Theresa: she does long-form video essays about pop culture through a feminist lens. I love how she deconstructs issues; she's got a lot of thought-provoking takes. Her editing style can sometimes be a bit too frenetic for my taste, but I might be a bit older than her target audience.

Kidology: another feminist video essayist. She covers similar topics to Jordan Theresa, but with a way less bubbly presentation. She also shares a lot of interesting thoughts about her experiences as an interracial adoptee, and the difficulty in fitting into a culture different to your own.

State of Kait: she does mostly beauty and pop culture commentary videos (which to be fair, I skip a lot of the ones about celebrities), but has started pivoting into analysis of influencer trends and how these can affect viewers. She also talks about being neurodivergent and having a chronic illness, which I find interesting.

Fitness KayKay: great workouts and a positive attitude!

The Fairy Voice Mother: she's a vocal coach who analyzes live vocal performances, talking about technique and music theory. Plus she's super charming!

Angelica Nyqvist: she's a former makeup artist who creates really colorful makeup looks, and shares what new makeup products are coming out. I'm mostly interested in her videos with indie makeup. She gives me a lot of great ideas to try with my own makeup!
