Female and Black Catholic YouTubers Worth Discovering
Catholic apologetics on YouTube is often associated with a familiar group of male apologists, but the Catholic digital world is much broader than that. There are women and Black Catholic creators producing their own independent YouTube channels devoted to apologetics, Scripture, conversion, catechesis, evangelization, and Catholic life.
Some are formal apologists. Others focus more on teaching, testimony, moral theology, or helping ordinary Catholics understand and live the faith. All of them bring something valuable to the conversation.
What Laura Likes
Laura’s channel includes Catholic apologetics, Marian teaching, Catholic practice, and explanations of the faith from the perspective of a Catholic wife and mother. Her own site describes her YouTube work as part of a ministry aimed at helping people find and deepen the Catholic faith, and her archive includes explicitly apologetic material such as a defense of Mary as Mother of God.
The Religious Hippie — Amber Rose
Amber Rose produces accessible Catholic content on faith, Catholic identity, culture, apologetics, and life as a practicing Catholic. Her channel is especially useful for younger Catholics who prefer conversational, social-media-style presentations rather than formal debates.

Black Catholic Apologists and Evangelists
Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers
Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is probably the strongest direct addition in this category.
His apostolate explicitly describes itself as a Catholic evangelization and apologetics organization, and his teaching covers Scripture, sacraments, prayer, marriage and family, Catholic doctrine, and evangelization. He is direct, energetic, and strongly biblical.

That Black Catholic Chick — Roxie Beckles
This is one of the strongest fits for what you are looking for because it is both a female-led Catholic channel and a Black Catholic apologetics/formation channel.
Roxie Beckles describes the channel as a Catholic evangelization and apologetics platform. Her videos deal directly with Catholic doctrine, Protestant objections, Marian teaching, Scripture and Tradition, Church authority, Catholic identity, Black Catholic history, reversion, and the Eucharist.
She has videos specifically addressing claims such as Catholicism being a “white religion,” whether Catholics worship Mary, why the Catholic Church is not simply another denomination, and why she returned to the Church after leaving it.

________________________________________-
These channels do not all practice apologetics in exactly the same style.
Some debate doctrine.
Some explain Catholic teaching.
Some answer Protestant objections.
Some focus on conversion and reversion.
Some show what living Catholicism actually looks like.
That variety is useful.
Catholic apologetics does not need to sound like one person, come from one background, or use one style. What matters is whether it faithfully explains and defends the Catholic faith.
Conclusion
If you are trying to understand Catholicism more deeply, defend the faith, or simply hear a wider range of Catholic voices online, these channels are worth exploring.
It is especially encouraging to see women and Black Catholic creators building their own platforms and contributing to apologetics, catechesis, Scripture, and evangelization in distinctive ways.
The goal is not to find one personality who answers every question.
It is to build a broader Catholic media diet: Scripture, theology, history, apologetics, testimony, prayer, and lived faith.
And the more voices Catholics hear from within the Church itself, the harder it becomes for critics to define Catholicism for us.
