It’s no lie that we’re spending an unhealthy amount of time on TikTok. Since that’s happening anyway, we can at least be mindful of the content being consumed. Here are five women making niche content that is still widely consumed.
Nedal Reads
Mainly, Nedal discusses books on her social media platforms, but it’s not the only thing. Besides engaging in deep, thorough discussions about books, she also raises awareness about the issues women face in society. She takes real-life examples and things that almost every Egyptian woman has experienced, and she dissects and analyses them from academic, societal, and religious perspectives.
A Mom’s Safe Space
“What is the stupidest thing someone told you about…?” This is the way Noor starts most of her videos. She then shares her own answers before highlighting the responses of other people. This allows the audience to feel connected by shared experiences and adds a bit of humour to truly baffling situations, making them a little more bearable. She also shares her experience as a new mom and what helps her take care of herself so that she can better care for her child.
Anatolia
As someone who moved to the United States when she was twelve, Anatolia began by creating videos about words in Egyptian Arabic that she loved, which don’t have good equivalents in English. Not only words, but also her favourite sayings and expressions. She creates videos about her daily life, sharing her Egyptian Coptic culture and discussing the challenges of being an immigrant.
Salma Tas’al
All kinds of media get reviewed and discussed on this account by Salma. Movies, music, TV shows, and even video games. These are not simple reviews; she goes into detail about every aspect of a production. She also keeps up with film festivals and major awards like the Oscars.
Maram
Maram has a unique outlook on fashion and creates styling videos. Not only that, but she creates a lot of the pieces she wears and makes videos about recycling and making clothes. She also shares details about the creative workshops she holds to teach others how to sew their own clothes.
