Baller Alert’s Most Influential IG Accounts

According to SimilarWeb, an online measurement company, the average person spends close to an hour a day scrolling through Instagram. In reality, we know that a lot of you don’t even clear the crust from your eyes before you reach for the phone to refresh your screen and catch up on the latest posts from Baller Alert. Instagram is a fun app, filled with a little bit of everything from social influencers to straight-up comedy and anything you can imagine in-between. While the world of entertainment is all fun and games, some serious things are going on in the world and some awesome accounts to help keep you “woke” and informed on your communities and the world. There’s too many to list, however, a few of our favorite “woke” accounts are:

Shaun King and Lee Merrit Esq.- whenever there is news of injustice, you can count on informative posts and continuous updates from these two. With their passion for activism and the legal expertise of Lee Meritt Esq., a Civil Rights attorney, both accounts are a must follow for leading the cause in keeping us all informed and pushing to gain justice for those whom the law fails to protect.
