“I turn my pain into pride and strength. I’ve decided to make TikToks about my Aboriginality.”
Eshia Anderson was scrolling through TikTok’s suggested sound clips in early August when she came across a familiar song — and an idea for a video.
“I laughed so hard and then I was like ‘I’m going to make a video on it for jokes’, and to see if any other Aboriginal people went through the same thing,” Anderson said. “I’ve put up with so much racism, it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Laurie said. “But I just turn my pain into pride and strength, and I’ve decided to make my TikToks about my Aboriginality to hopefully direct other Indigenous kids because they have to always remember that they are strong, black and deadly.”
“We know that Indigenous peoples have always been early adopters of technologies,” she said. “And as new platforms are created Indigenous people and particularly youth take advantage of a new forum to express things that are of importance — something mainstream media often ignores or reports on in problematic ways.
