TikTok
What better way to kick off the week than with our Creator Spotlight series! In our latest installment, we couldn't be more excited to spotlight the amazing and hilarious @victor.kunda .
Throughout October, Victor has been featured in our Been Doing It campaign, which aims to spotlight Black culture on TikTok. He's been appearing on billboards across the UK alongside creators from the worlds of history, fashion, food and comedy who have been blazing the trail and making change for their communities.
Beyond his work in our Been Doing It campaign, Victor is TikTok's resident comedian and fashionista. He's responsible for some of the most viral TikTok videos, with his signature dead-pan style and satirical content captivating our community - guaranteed comedy hits!
Whether you need outfit inspiration, want a look behind the scenes of a modelling shoot, or just need a good laugh - Victor is the creator for you!
With 623k followers and counting, it’s clear that our community can’t get enough of Victor, and neither can we. We sat down with him to chat about everything Black History Month, his favourite creators, and learn a little bit more about what inspires him.
What does Black History mean to you?
It means acknowledging and mourning but celebrating our history whilst rewriting our future with our present work, so the future book of Black History opens on a much more positive and triumphant page.
What did you love most about starring in the Been Doing It campaign?
Being on a billboard! My talent is being celebrated on a billboard! The look on my mum’s face was priceless when I showed her the picture of me stood in front of it.
What first inspired you to create on TikTok?
I had a full circle moment during lockdown in uni when I was stuck in my room with all these creative ideas and I needed a creative release. My friends always pushed me to put my work out there as I previously did in 2016.
What is your goal on TikTok?
I have no goal! My personal goal is to always impress myself with my talent and my ideas and let my page be my canvas to paint whatever I feel, whenever I feel the need to.
What other Black creators are on your For You feed?
Isaiah Xavier, Cristian Dennis , Sheo Bolu And MANY others!
What do you love most about the TikTok community?
We're all so loving to each other (mostly). It genuinely feels like a family, and you don't talk to all of your family realistically, but the love and respect is always there. I know I have a shoulder to lean on and confide in.
What is your favourite TikTok you have made to date and why?
It's the indie singer TikTok video where I start in a handstand - you know the one. I remember just feeling like I was at the peak of my creativity because when people ask how I thought of that I genuinely can't explain it - it just came to me.
