In the Experiences on TikTok series, we hosted TikTok creators from marginalized communities—Black creators, disabled creators, fat creators, and queer creators—to talk about what it’s like on the platform for them, from good to bad, from audiences to fellow creators to TikTok as a platform and a company.
