- If all goes to plan, this
is going to be my last video
with long hair because I am getting it cut
and donating it on Thursday.
And I am so excited because I really hate
having long hair at the moment.
It just gets in the way,
and I'm very excited
to have short hair again,
I don't know, somewhere around here.
Who knows?
If you want to be one of
the first people to see
just all of this chopped
off, and my new hair,
then you should follow me
on Instagram and on Twitter.
But if you want to see
it before those people,
then you should follow me on Snapchat.
It is International Women's Day today,
Tuesday the eighth of March, 2016.
I'm a woman, I'm a feminist,
and I'm a YouTuber, so I thought today
would be a great day to tell you about
10 smaller female YouTubers
that I think you should know about.
First of all, by smaller YouTuber,
I didn't really set a
number limit on that.
I kind of in my head was looking at people
who are smaller than me
in terms of number of subscribers,
but the range of the
people that I've picked,
I think the biggest person
has about 37,000 subscribers
and the smallest person has
like 70 subscribers, so.
What I would love for
you to do is to subscribe
to each and every one of
these incredible women.
The reason why I want to put emphasis
on you subscribing to them is because
their subscription
number still means a lot.
It helps to get you recognition
in the YouTube community,
it helps to get you to
speak on panels at events,
it helps brands notice
you to work with you,
and it helps all sorts of other
creative industries to see
your work and notice you,
and then give you further
platform and further reach.
And I'm all about raising women's voices.
So subscribe to everyone that I mention
if you're not subscribed to them already.
Also, I will say that none
of the women on this list
are YouTubers that I've
collaborated with before
so hopefully I'm actually introducing you
to some new awesome content.
Right, that was a bit of a long intro,
so let's just get into it.
AhsanteTheArtist.
Ahsante makes great vlogs
that are really intelligent.
And some of them are really creative
and beautifully made.
She also has a series about
how to get into Harvard,
and what it's like to go to Harvard.
So if you wanna go to Harvard,
then you should definitely
check out that series
on her channel.
Her latest video is one
on intersectionality,
which I think was beautifully handled
and really educational.
Linda Barsi.
Linda's channel is one
that if you have time
I would highly recommend actually watching
the videos in chronological order
of their upload date
because she started out
the channel as a I'm
taking a year off dating
and I'm just going to
work on script writing.
And so you see her journey
of her relationship
with dating, and then
also all of her videos
are like script writing tips
and writing tips in general.
But now her channel has kind of done a bit
of a transformation.
She's still writing, but she also talks
a lot about mental health.
Also, if you've seen a
few dance recess videos
floating around the internet,
Linda actually started that.
Erika Lynae.
Erika is a fellow sex ed vlogger.
She has a series called the ins and outs,
and it is amazing.
I've learned so much from it.
Also, if you're into sex toys,
she does really brilliant open and honest
sex toy reviews.
Taylor from Its Radish Time.
Taylor makes wonderful classic vlogs.
She just has a thought and
she wants to talk about it.
And I love that.
I initially found her
through her video about
Beyonce's song Formation
and her performance at the Super Bowl,
which I thought was super interesting.
Evelyn From The Internets.
I love Evelyn.
I'm not entirely sure how to describe it,
but I think she is so funny.
Just her tone and facial expressions
when she's talking just crack me up.
Also, she lives in Austin, Texas,
and I used to live in Austin,
so I always feel this like bond between me
and Austin and people from Austin.
FranJustFran.
I actually met Fran recently
at an open mic night
at the YouTube space in London.
She was super cool,
and we hung out a bunch
during the evening.
She makes these really thoughtful vlogs.
And I really love them.
She recently weighed in on the whole
YouTube culture debate
that's been going on,
and I thought that was a great video.
Jess the Indecisive.
Jess is great.
Her vlogs are very funny
and also very educational.
She speaks about race, gender,
sexuality, and politics.
It's all good.
Zaina.
Zaina just reminds me of
classic old school vlogging.
Her equipment isn't that great,
but that doesn't stop her because she has
something to say, and so she says it,
then she uploads it.
And I just love that mentality.
And she really does have something to say.
Her videos are so lovely and insightful.
Shugs and Fats.
This is a comedy web series.
It's so funny.
Think Broad City but with
two British Muslim women.
They're definitely British
'cause I can hear it
in their accents, but it's
still set in Brooklyn.
I can't describe how funny it is.
You just have to watch it.
All of the videos are kind
of like individual sketches.
Series one and two are up on the channel.
And you can just binge watch those.
And season three is coming out very soon.
And I'm, oh my God,
they're so funny.
They're so funny.
Yasmin Johal.
Yasmin doesn't have that many videos up,
but they are great.
My favorite is her reading out
the really weird Tinder
messages that she gets.
Also, she's just really funny
with her like off the
cuff ad libby comments.
OK, so that was 10 female YouTubers
that you should all be
subscribed to right now.
Like, why haven't you
subscribed to them yet?
Do let me know if you go
and check out these channels
and you enjoy them.
And don't forget to let them
know that I sent you over,
and I say hello.
Please give this video a
thumbs up if you enjoyed it.
And happy International Women's Day.
Bye!
(upbeat hip hop music)
