  • Summary

  • King(sley) was one of the first gay, black creators on YouTube with over a million followers. For nearly a decade from 2011 to 2018, he was a defining voice in youth pop culture, winning a YouTube Entertainment Award and collaborating with some of the biggest names on the internet. Behind the fame and followers, though, he struggled with a sense of isolation as one of the only creators of color invited to sit among the top (mostly white) creators on the platform. In this first episode of Creators of Color, host Avi Gandhi - who was King(sley)’s agent at the height of his career - digs in to the challenges and difficulties King faced as a top creator at a time when Black talent were even more underrepresented and underincluded than they are today, as well as what today’s creators of color need to know to build their careers in an otherwise homogenous industry.
