TikTok is a great platform, but it's crucial that content creators are fairly compensated for their work!
At this year's Inclusive Africa Conference, DisDat podcast host Alan Herbert had an insightful conversation with Dr. Ezekiel Mutua, CEO of MCSK, about the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the creative economy.
Their discussion delved into the Persons with Disabilities Bill and the diverse composition of creators on various social platforms.
One key point highlighted was the need for fair compensation for content creators, emphasising that while TikTok is a fantastic platform, it is essential to ensure that all creators, including those with disabilities, are adequately rewarded for their contributions.
