I am deeply passionate about cultural expression and sharing the rich tapestry of my heritage with the world, something that TikTok allows me to do seamlessly. The platform has become an invaluable medium for creators like myself who wish to showcase diverse cultures in an engaging and relatable manner. However, recent changes in TikTok's algorithms and content visibility policies have resulted in a decrease in the collaborative and innovative spirit that we, creators, cherish.

Platforms like TikTok should continue to serve as a space where cultural diversity can thrive. A recent study by Pew Research Center highlights that a significant portion of young adults use TikTok as a source of entertainment and education, with a substantial 32% expressing that they learn about cultures and traditions through videos shared by creators. Thus, it's crucial that TikTok's policies support cultural content rather than stifle it.

Concretely, we ask TikTok to enhance algorithm transparency and boost content visibility especially for creators focusing on educational and cultural materials. This will not only benefit creators but also contribute to a more dynamic and culturally rich platform.
