There’s an allure to peeking into the lives of those who exude luxury, specifically those who work hard to get what they want. It’s impossible to scroll on TikTok and not see flashy cars, designer handbags, trips to tropical destinations, and creators living the life you likely have pinned to your 2023 vision board.
In a niche corner of TikTok wealth is Black girl luxury. This includes a community of lawyers who will have you wishing for a Legally Blonde remake starring a Black Elle Woods. The women behind the hashtags chronicling their big city lives are absolute powerhouses, strutting into law offices and taking their viewers with them as they embark on girls’ trips and spend freely.
Creators such as @lexnoell, @legallypriscilla, and @tiara_thelawyer are just a few of the women opening up about what it takes to be a lawyer and offering insight into what success looks like for them. They spoke with Passionfruit about what it’s like for Black creators to balance their work and passions, acquire brand deals, and create content that’s authentic to themselves.
