We introduced Support Black Businesses, an online hub where Black entrepreneurs can learn about TikTok's ongoing partnerships and initiatives that drive awareness, support, and patronage of their businesses. TikTok would not be what it is today without the contributions of Black creators and we're committed to honoring and celebrating this community, today and every day. We also launched our inaugural Black TikTok Trailblazers list and began an ongoing creator spotlight series that features creators from diverse backgrounds and identities. Supporting our creators and local communities

Additionally, we launched the TikTok Creator Portal as a resource hub for the already flourishing Black creative community on TikTok and created BlackTikTok, the official home of the #BlackTikTok community. We hosted our first TikTok for Black Creatives creator accelerator program, where 100 talented, emerging Black creators and music artists participated in educational events, community-building forums, and motivational town halls to further grow and develop their creator careers. In collaboration with this group, we rolled out community-favorite TikTok LIVE programs including Dinner with Me, Amplifying Diverse Voices, and more, that highlight the diverse stories and experiences on TikTok. Over the past year, our teams have continued working to elevate and support Black voices and causes, while fostering an inclusive environment on our platform and within our workplace.Ĭreators are the heart of TikTok, and as part of our commitment to recognizing and uplifting their voices we introduced our Creator Diversity Collective – a braintrust of talented, passionate creators from different backgrounds who've helped us create and shape programs that spotlight and amplify diverse creators. We believe that the diversity of our community is a huge part of what makes TikTok a rewarding and inspiring place to spend time, and we’re driven to actively promote and protect it every day. As we shared in our progress report last June, racism and discrimination have no place on TikTok and we're committed to specific, concrete actions in our push to build an inclusive platform reflective of our diverse world. On TikTok, the emotional voices, images, and stories were an important reminder of the responsibility we have to our community. Last summer, we witnessed a powerful awakening across our country led by the Black Lives Matter movement.
