The youth advocate and former social worker from the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation near Edmonton touches on Indigenous and LGBTQ+ issues.</p> <p>While Potts’ interests are wide-ranging, his keenness on addressing social problems and how to be more accepting is what drove TikTok to add him to their list.</p> <p>TikTok also featured a second Canadian on their list, this time in the “Originators” category, which they describe as creators “who’ve started viral dances, sounds, aesthetics and more.”</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@meicrosoft" rel="noopener">Mei Pang</a> is a content creator who specializes in makeup and tattoos. Her style is often wildly inventive, creating patterns that sometimes require hours of preparation.

She’s done that so many times in the past. That’s why she’s a true champion on and off the court, but I just tried my best to block everything out … The last game wasn’t easy. She started serving way, way better, too. Balls were going all over the place. I’m just glad with how I managed really.”</p> <p>Williams is now 0-4 in Grand Slam finals since returning to the sport after becoming a mother in 2017.
