Patricia is my favorite OG. I get so excited when I see her success. I hate when people say I miss the old you because these ladies have been on here for over 10 years. It would be unrealistic to think they’ll be the same.

[@RDCFemmes]

Tell them. We all change and we are not the same ppl we were 10, 15, 20 years ego. The difference between them and us that it is documented so you can see the change.......

[@Flourish_today]

Ive never understood that logic of" i miss the old you". The girl was in her 20s when she started KZbin. Now she is in her 30s married and second baby on the way. People still want her to be the 20something year old. How is that possible. People grow and evolve.

[@honeta11]

I think by saying that, they said « we can’t relate to you anymore » we still love them and we are happy to witness their success but they are no more the girls from next door. I’m not ashame to say i missed the old Patricia. That’s Life and that’s ok.

[@tochiagbo]

I feel like Jennie should be at 1 milli by now. She was definitely one of the first people I watched when I started getting into makeup. I think because of her personality not being the bubbliest and how she tells it like it is is why she's not at a higher level than she is now. Like I remember the backlash she got when she updated her thoughts on Fenty. I still love her sha

Exactly!!! One of my very very first KZbinrs I watched! Jennie is crazy talented!!!

I agree....I have said often on her page, she was one of the true originators of the makeup for deeper-skinned women. I felt like she taught a LOT of make up theory....if you do your H/W...she was the inspiration for the color correction trend....Destiny is/was BEAST

@@brigittemed9372 I don't think she "bad mouthed" FB she just gave an honest opinion about her own experience with the foundation.

[@PinkElevator]

She got sick of YT I personally think her skin wasn’t thick enough.

I miss Shirley so much!! "Aesthetics goals" is such a perfect term for her, I still have so many screenshots of her work space especially. Patricia and Jackie's hustle is incredibly inspiring. I remember when Pat used to make videos in her room in Uni and her first video with Mike he was so stiff haha. LOVE to see these women soar!

Destiny Godley is my favorite! Her newest video is in my feed right before this video. I still watch all of these ladies! Jennie’s highlighter collab with BlackUp is top 3 highlighters in my collection, it’s beautiful. I wish Shirley would become active again.

[@doreenonekalit9888]

Love Shirely too

[@yaaharriott]

Destiny is the queen of blend and build. She was demonstrating professional contouring before it was trendy. She can work miracles on her face with a small brush. NitraaB is just a sweet spirited person whose videos always were professional and very calming to me. Colouredbeautiful is on Instagram and she does videos everyone and awhile. She is such a warm and peaceful spirit. Jennie is like so matter of fact, and says what she feels even when people give her flack for it. I love how she uses drugstore and high end makeup. Patricia Bright is so much fun and always full of energy. I fell in love with her and her hubby back when they were travelling the world on their vlogs. She makes me laugh a lot. I still watch all of these youtubers wether they post a lot or not. That what an OG subscriber does, stay loyal to their subscriptions no matter what. Remember youtube is free to watch never forget that. We get to see awesome content for free.

[@pattyn1669]

Jennie is one of my favourites she's really truthful.

[@palmbeachescapes7144]

I feel like the only reason why Jenny haven't achieved the success of Patricia and Jackie is because the companies only want one black person in there ads. Basically a token. I see events where Jackie and Patricia go and they are like the only black you tuber and 20 or 30 white you tubers. Its sad because she is an OG and she deserves to be much further in her career than she currently is.

[@happinessloading1198]

Or jenny just isn't as good as Patricia. Sorry but she is a bit boring. Gorgeous girl but not much of a good KZbin entertainer. Her videos are more related to black people, specifically Nigerians. Also mainly make up and hair. Patricia in the others used to do general videos for everyone, like advice and stuff. She just started doing make up and hair And she doesn't even do it that much. Very different KZbin channels and it makes sense why one grew more

[@omosebrand4747]

@@happinessloading1198 What is really your issue? She isn't boring, because she isn't shouting everywhere? Jennie is PERFECT as she is. Patricia is herself, but her popularity mainly comes from her having a white husband and over shared which people love. Both are great, please respect people.

[@tochiagbo]

@@happinessloading1198 like Dimma said in her last video, a lot of times we want certain influencers to show us their personality and when they do, the issue we have is that they're not as bubbly or whatever as the next influencer. Yeah, she might not be as lively as Jackie or Patricia, but she's still someone I enjoy watching. Plus, I feel like she's made more steps to come out of her shell. At the end of the day, everyone is not destined to put out the same content. Some people just have their niche. Idk, saying that she's not as good as Patricia is just offputting to me. Why should we pin them against each other? If she's not your cup of tea, just don't watch her. You don't have to put her down in order to elevate someone else 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@jessicamazeya3626]

I think the problem with Jennie is her personality is not relatable. And also I feel like she is tired of KZbin herself. She has been taking breaks of social media many times and has not been as consisted as others. But let celebrate what those influences achieved instead of always comparing

[@franfran6841]

Jenny is definitely not boring, she is just an introvert and we introverts get her. FYI, When speaking of someone use choices of better words. Ugly people don’t put people down.

[@KhadyB]

Thanks for this bomb video. It’s really nice of you to give credit where credit is due! Coloured Beautiful was the very first youtuber I watched religiously. I fell in love with her Barbie tutorials. Destiny is also definitely one of my all time favorites. She thought me a lot about makeup. Jenny is one of the best to this day. I have to mention Peakmill...sooo good and her outfits and wigs were always to die for. Other ones worth mentioning are ulovemegz and her bubbly personality, lizlizlive for her simple and classy makeup looks and msroshposh with her head to toe flyness. I discovered Jackie Aina a little later and thoroughly enjoy her content now, but she is not one of the ones I watched early on.

[@GracefulKnots]

I love Jennie’s videos. She’s truthful and reliable. I still watch her. She’s made me buy some clothes I can’t wear cos they look so nice on her but when I get them they don’t quite fit me cos of course I’m not slim like Jennie 😂

I won't lie, I did shy away from some of the high luxury hauls but I loved her work wardrobe lookbooks in her early days and still do really enjoy reviews and vlogs. It's so nice to see how far she's come.

I could see the transition Jackie and Pat made from “honest YT” to pleasing the masses and being about a brand. Which is important! I could see a spike in followers after certain things were tweaked. Jackie went beast mode at the expense of her creativity and I just slowed down watching her videos. I used to go HARD for both Pat and Jackie and I still admire them but I’ve been going back to smaller youtubers and those posting original content. However, they’re bomb business women I adore their acumen. Destiny Godley is aaaawesome she’s literally the reason I don’t look like a clown 🤡

[@sasantew5010]

I will have to agree. It’s hard to maintain integrity and build subscribers without tweaking it and pleasing the masses a little bit. Small you tubers thank you for supporting their pages

[@creatingcreatvt]

Destiny needs more accolades 😩🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@nmoomoo]

I don’t think it’s always pleasing the masses. It could just be they’ve changed and there’s nothing wrong with that

[@daniellemccormick9981]

This is really well written and couldn’t agree more!!

[@leaglam847]

People like Jackie been talking about the lack of options dark skinned folks had in the beauty industry since BEFORE it was cool to do so. Why is it now that she has found a way to capitalize off of it folks are accusing her of being a people pleaser or a sell out? She turned her criticism of foundation shade ranges into a collaboration with Too Faced to expand their range. Personally their liquid foundation works the best with my skin and my perfect shade is one of the shades in their expansion (Sable fyi). Every collab she has done she has kept dark skinned folks in mind up to her most recent palette drop. Folks are just used to peope being all talk I guess. People want to call her fake now that she's winning like what she does wasn't always the goal.

[@tochiagbo]

I'm surprised you didn't mention It'sMyRayeRaye. I remember she had 1 milli subbies before Jackie, but she's still yet to hit 2 milli. Aaliyah Jay also is an OG to me. I think she's just now refocusing on the beauty side of makeup. But yeah, makes me nostalgic thinking of how I found my OGs, including you 😌

[@MorounG]

Tochukwu Agbo swear down

[@GracefulKnots]

Yes I have those 2 in my video titled “Black Beauty KZbinrs with a million or more subscribers” They are all successful in their own rights. I think people have learnt how to do makeup now and just want to watch interesting videos like this one 😊

[@The.cassandracollins]

I loved Jennie Jenkins for the longest lol. I even had her pictures saved on my phone

[@zainabmohammodu1086]

You’re really hitting the OGssss!!! That coastal scents 252 palette! #memories

[@ashdacraft]

Anyone remember Nikki Mae-Natural Chica-I loved her natural hair journey

[@tracylynn8101]

Ashley Tyler - yes! She’s doing well. Graduated with her Ph.D., got married, had a son, moved to Mexico and is doing yoga and art while raising her child. She looks very happy and was tried of the rat race in the states. She pops up on Instagram sometimes.

[@KaylaMarie_]

I loved her. She had beautiful hair. She said she was gonna keep up with KZbin after she moved to Mexico and only made like 2 videos after that lol

[@stephaniek.344]

I subscribed to Jackie after I watched one of her 'trends we're leaving in ...' videos. And true like you said, she showed alot more of her personality in those videos. I think I checked you out again (I'd watched some of your videos before) after she mentioned you in one of her social medias. Patricia's videos were among the first I ever watched on KZbin. I watch your videos now more than alot of the mentioned KZbinrs'

[@Faithfulgabbz]

Destiny has always been my go to person... She was like the first person i started watching for makeup... She has soo much info for dark skin women...

[@gdlovesme3168]

Jennie Jenkins, Ulovemegs, Jackie Aina, and Shirley Eniang taught me so much. I went natural the same time as Megs. Jennie was one of the first beauty vloggers I watched on KZbin. Shirley taught me how to be stylish without overdoing it. Jackie taught me makeup techniques. I just learned about Patricia from watching one of your videos.

[@explorationofbeauty6406]

BeautybyJJ was the first person I subscribed too on KZbin and that was almost a decade ago. I learnt everything from here including makeup hair and style and shopping online. Jennie is highly underrated and ik it's because she refuses to sell out herself and like everything given to her. Her reviews are so honest and she gets hated on for being her. I'm glad she has remained true to herself.

[@Wakagirl]

Love all the OGs! They paved the way!!!

[@ToyaF82]

What about Muffinsismylovers. She's definitely an OG.

[@jocobyjunious3518]

thats a true OG!

[@RoseGolden0]

lfutrell82 yup!! She was the one that started the wig thing

[@brittneyjohnson6454]

Yes!!! My girl! I watched a video she put up last month about her son passing away. Prayers up 🙏🏾

[@Nikkimillermua]

Thank you for this video! I love you paying homage to these black women. I still follow coloured beautiful on IG and she posts on there every now and then.

[@ReMonaLavon]

Jackie was probably the 1st person I subbed to on YT.

[@CeeJayLive]

Your hair, outfit and makeup in this video is so on point, I just don't understand 😫😍

[@ericacosta987]

Cee_Jay Live I know right????? 😩💗

[@TinaKai25]

I have watched Nitraa ever since she lived with her boyfriend now husband. I am so attached and have watched her grow. Now her videos are mostly home decor and lifestyle related which is showing who she's growing into. I still love watching her!

[@dr.zeedams]

Dimma darling ❤❤❤😗 This consistency, I'm loving it.

[@taiyef1]

I used to watch every single one of these OGs! I remember when Megz was doing more videos with her twin, they were so funny! And Patricia used to feature her boyfriend Mike! Wow they've grown! I do still watch Patricia and Jennie Jenkins, but I miss Shirley, her aesthetics was sick! Great video ❤️

[@FeliciaBeee]

I love Shirley, although she isn't uploading anymore... Jennie, Jackie and Patricia are hardworking ladies and I love them still watch their videos...

[@yamanz6712]

I would like to know what happened to “LipShock” I can’t forget about MsRoshPosh” (Rochelle) she’s most definitely an ole G and still doing her thing

[@Gangel0811]

OMG yeeees!!! Lipshock what happened 😕

[@accordingtojaz7412]

Yes i forgot about missroshposh

[@yaaharriott]

Yes I loved Lipshock also, she was one of the first to edit her videos and make them look professional. I sent her a message a while back and she said she was good, but she needed a break, and that so much had changed on KZbin she wasnt sure if she wanted to come back to it.

[@yamanz6712]

yaaharriott that’s so good to know that she’s doing okay.Thank for sharing

[@yamanz6712]

Gangel0811 I miss her!

[@julianastv5104]

This was a nice video. KZbin would not stop recommending. A video celebrating all these black women. Great analysis at the end about keeping it real. Shirley is my fav. So kind. Beautiful style. Lovely personality. I, too, just LOVE Shirley!

[@Dimma_Daniela]

I've been following and watching everyone you mentioned since I started watching KZbin videos... Jeez, how time flies

[@AbujaYummyMummy]

Surprisingly I don’t watch most of the ones you mentioned but I knew of them, I’ve always watched the uk based ones such as Shirley, Patricia, beauty by jj. Some of them have stopped KZbin as well such as fabulosityisme, missadriana etc. 😕

[@moemekeifeoma1484]

My OGs are beauty by JJ Jennie Jenkins (she had the best wigs on KZbin to the best of my knowledge, almost nobody had great hair on this platform like her), Jackie Aina, Shirley B eniang, Enibaby4 ( I don’t know what happened with her, she had a great personality), Nitraa b is also another one of my favs

[@tochiagbo]

Oh yeah! I know Enibaby4 changed her brand to her name Isoken Enofe and launched a business, but yeah, it's been a while since I've seen an upload from her 😔

[@moemekeifeoma1484]

Tochukwu Agbo yes I feel like she gave up on the KZbin thing exactly when It was becoming a big deal

[@tienepre9000]

She’s a big business woman who’s making waves. Her brand Isoken Enofe shows at Miami fashion week, Dallas and LA. I think she outgrew yt and decided to do other things.

[@lesliemorton7658]

Let me say, it is so refreshing to see a black women lifting other black women up, thank you! Much love from OKC💄

[@nonyeigbozuriked2876]

I got to know all these people after watching this and have already subscribed. Thanks Dimma for this video.

[@uniqueadaeze]

Shirley was one KZbinr I fell inlove around the time I started watching KZbin I just got obsessed with her style..the way she talks, everything!!!😩😩❤️❤️❤️

[@tuushietime]

My OG recommendation: kimmay tube (natural hair/length retention)

[@SlayThisLife]

Dimma!!!! This video was sooooooooooo needed!!!!! I was thinking this same thing months ago. It's crazy how people can't celebrate one another as well as be loyal. You ladies give a lot doing KZbin and I wish the OGs were ALL getting huge deals/collabs. Loved this video!!!

[@Airys01]

Styles by Fash and Tiarra Monet were my favs! They are the reason why I started wearing makeup and trying different lipsticks

[@DivineFeminae]

MY OG'S are all you mentioned PLUS ItsMyRayeRaye, Ateya Rich and AllthingsFabulous101 :)

[@SoloLifeWithGod]

I lived on itsMyRayeRaye!!! Definite OG

[@KiimKash]

gailloullou girl, yes!!!! The latter is definitely the one who I looked to for all try-on hauls!

[@escah9150]

Yes remember Ateya, love watching her videos.

[@KaylaMarie_]

ItsMyRayeRaye isn't really an OG to me. She came on the scene after a lot of the other girls and did some collab videos with Andrea (an OG) and got really popular really fast and then kinda plateaued.

[@afua9907]

Yesss
