"Kat Blaque was a teenager when she picked up a camera and started vlogging on YouTube in December of 2010. Thirty thousand subscribers later, she's making her mark in the online world. She's appeared on Everyday Feminism,MTV, Buzzfeed, Pride.com and most recently Upworthy, explaining the distinctions between Caitlyn Jenner and Rachel Dolezal's identities. "My channel used to be me sitting in front of a camera talking about my day. I didn't start having the approach that I have now until last year really, so yeah it's been kind of a fun little change. I feel like I've finally found my niche, and I feel really comfortable where I am," says Blaque. Drawing in thousands of viewers each week, Blaque's channel welcomes mature conversations about gender, race and how they intersect."
