Just ’cause they’re young doesn’t mean that they can’t be on the right side of history.

Jackie Aina tweeted a list of black-owned beauty and skincare brands to support:

by now everyone should be able to name 5 MINIMUM black owned indie beauty brands. Besides Fenty beauty and Pat McGrath Labs (the obvious)

Jackie Aina has been fighting the good fight since the inception of her channel — she’s been a proponent for black people and fighting for inclusion in the beauty community for her entire career.

David Dobrik attended the Black Lives Matter protest in Santa Monica and also donated $50,000:

This is especially moving since David is a DACA recipient and had more to risk than most white people in attendance.

4.

Logan Paul implored white people to “use their privilege” to help advance the movement, while acknowledging his own ignorance and promised to get educated:

I’m not the HUGEST fan of Logan Paul — or, any kind of fan, really — but he acknowledged his fuckups in this video and also recognized that his whiteness is the reason why he’s able to get away with “the hooligan shit he does in [his] vlogs.” Hoolingan shit including, but not limited to: posting a video of a dead body to his channel and overall dipshit debauchery. He’s got a LONG way to go, but I’m not going to condemn him for taking his first step in the right direction.

Much like Jackie Aina, Nyma’s channel has always been there to black people — specifically the darker end of the spectrum. This was just the cherry on top of the perfect cake.
