I am a self-proclaimed YouTube junkie and have been for years! My interest are pretty random and borderline odd, but this is my safe space, lol. Just click the channel names & check out some of my favorite channels:
The Families:
- Beleaf in Fatherhood – On this channel, Glen “Beleaf” Henry chronicles his journey through Black fatherhood. He, along with his hilariously precious wife, Yvette, highlight the milestones of his four children aka The Chocolate Babies. A place for sweet & wholesome YouTubing.
- GabeBabeTV – A precious interracial vlogging couple. I’m so invested in this family, lol. For veteran viewers, we’ve watched them wed, move, have children, grieve, get fit, and celebrate. The kids are adorable, the parents (Gabe and Chad aka Babe) are endearing and it’s just easy, feel-good viewing.
- The LaVignes – Whew… honey, the growth! So, Jerry LaVigne is a long time YouTube vlogger who’s gone from musing through early adulthood highs and lows to now being a husband and father. Now he and his wife, Dee, chronicle their day-to-day lives as parents and entreprenuers. The LaVignes have also branched off into a number of other channels but start here.
Entertainment:
- KevOnStage – Listen! I Stan for all things related to Kevin & Melissa Fredericks. Kevin is a content creating geneous and comedian. Melissa is the plug for all things mental and relational health. Together they’ve established these great gems on the following channels:
- KevOnStage Studios
- Mrskevonstage
- NPR Music – This is usually how I make it through my work day. I love the diversity and I’m always being introduced to new artists.
- Dormtainment – The fellas of DormtainmentTV have been a source of cackles since my college days. I love their humor & creativity.
- Breakfast Club – Well, because… the ghetto! LOL, seriously we all know the mixed bag of tea and awareness that they give.
The Odd, Strange, and Gross
- The Toe Bro – If you’re a Dr. Pimple Popper fan then this channel should still be right up your ally. The Toe Bro is a Canadian foot specialist an d handles all things terrible when it comes to feet. It’s oddly soothing and he’s so kind and gentle with his patience. I’m sucker for a YT glow up and he went from popular vlogger to having his own show on A&E.
- The Meticulous Manicurest – In line with the Toe Bro, sis over at Meticulous Manicurest takes folks’ feet from eww to wow. Idk what’s so soothing about it but check her out.
- Urban Extractions – Ms. Jada Kennedy gets all up in her waxing clients’ nether regions & underarms and does ingrown hair extractions – gross and satisfying.
ASMR – the oddness that I never knew I needed
- ASMR Psychetruth – I camp out at the hairbrushing videos. Why is white women brushing hair and whispering soooo lulling and relaxing?! Don’t know but keep brushing, Karen!
- Beardbrand – I had no clue what ASMR was until I burrowed to the belly of YouTube hair cut videos. Very calming, good tutorials if you care, and great cuts.
- Chiropractors – Again, this is my safe space but I really like the chiro vids. Here are my fav channels:
