☆ On social-media, Black women's content is monetized and appropriated without paying tribute to the creators
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-05 | by ( Kara Alaimo | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

In the influencer world, Black female creators see their work co-opted without credit or apology. Kylie Jarrett, Ph.D., a scholar of media studies, refers to women content creators as "digital housewives," which is fitting because they often earn the same salary as stay-at-home moms: $0. Some of the most exploited people of all are Black women and girls who create content, then watch it get appropriated and monetized by others. They were eventually invited on the show via Zoom — but only after, you guessed it, social media outcry . The experience is so common among Black creators that in the summer of 2021, they went on strike to protest the practice of appropriating their work .

For Makenzie Steele, landing NIL deals with big companies like Under Armour and Lululemon required two things: posting consistently and putting her business email in her Instagram bio. The 20-year-old Clemson track and cross-country runner has secured nearly 20 brand deals through her Instagram and TikTok account, @goodfoodgoodrun. Steele started posting cooking and running content in late summer 2020 and has grown her platform to 42,000 Instagram followers and 23,000 TikTok followers. She's posted one-pan Caprese baked pasta, snickerdoodle granola, mini apple pancake bites, and lots of banana bread variations. "When someone first sees my account, they're like, 'it's just banana bread and oats,'" Steele said.
