Discovering the Wonderful World of TikTok: Female Creators You Should Follow

By Alesia Stradford

 

TikTok is taking the social media world by storm. And we’re excited to introduce a lot of amazing female creators on this app.

 

The short-form video platform’s heavy focus on entertainment can be credited for its success. The app has taken creativity, inspiration, and entertainment to the next level with videos, live streams, music, sounds created by users, filters, creative effects, and more. TikTok’s success is transforming the social media landscape by giving users a platform to freely express themselves in every way and the ability to shine as the singer, actress, comedian, dancer, artist, teacher, and whatever else they always dreamed to be. 

 

 

There is a reason that TikTok is gaining influence over its tech competitors.

 

 

TikTok Explained: Getting to Know the Fastest-growing Platform

Other social media platforms have noticed the app’s popularity and have tried to integrate similar entertaining features into their own app. Instagram, for example, created a video feature called Reels, that allows users to upload short videos with music and original sound. Many Instagram users use the feature to post their TikToks on their Instagram page. YouTube has also joined the bandwagon with YouTube Shorts, a feature that functions like TikTok, complete with full-screen videos, vertical scrolling, likes, and comments. There’s no denying TikTok’s influence over their tech competitors.

Her videos have gained over 3 million videos, with the highest viewed video being 109.3 million views! Erika loves her job, as she mentions in a caption that she has “the best job in the world”, and we’re so glad she shares it with us.

Remember Bill Nye, “the science guy”? If there were to be a female version of him, it would have to be Sarah Habibi! Her fun bits of science facts and interesting experiments are worth watching every second. This female creator has a PhD in Molecular Biology and uses her passion for science and expertise to entertain and educate her audience. In many of her videos, she interestingly explains the science behind many things such as poison, shampoo, slime, and frog eggs! In her bio, she calls herself “your TikTok teacher” and prides herself on being an Arab creator. She currently has a following of 116.1K with over 3 million likes. Dr. Habibi definitely knows how to bring the fun to science and with her educational videos, we don’t feel guilty for binge-watching her TikTok videos (because we’re learning 😉 ).
