At TikTok, we are committed to showcasing the incredible creatives on our platform. Through our Creator Spotlight Series, we aim to highlight our amazing creators and their inspiring contributions to creativity and joy. One of these creators is @Beauty2thestreetz.

Shirley, the creator behind @Beauty2thestreetz, is making a difference by providing support to the homeless community in Los Angeles. Her diverse content ranges from beauty and makeup videos to relief services, demonstrating her passion for helping others.

Shirley's journey on TikTok began with a hair color makeup transition video. She joined TikTok after hearing so much about it, despite initially being hesitant because she thought it was for older people. However, she soon realized that TikTok's young audience and educational potential made it the right platform for her content.

When asked about her favorite TikTok video, Shirley mentioned the filter faces she creates with her twin sister. These videos not only provide hours of family fun but also strengthen their bond. Shirley's motivation comes from her desire to make a difference in the lives of her primarily Black homeless community. She aims to break stereotypes and overcome the odds that people have placed on her due to the color of her skin.

For new creators, Shirley advises them to be authentic, bold, and true to themselves. She believes that being a trailblazer means having a voice for the homeless community and being a Black woman with a seat at the table.

Shirley also recommends following Black creators such as trendycurvy, alexisnikole, sheisthet, and shrekdumpster. These creators not only bring laughter but also provide positive and impactful content that can help create a better community and world.

At TikTok, we are proud to have creators like @Beauty2thestreetz who use their platform to make a difference and inspire others. We will continue to support and highlight the amazing talents on our platform.
