Chef Abby The Ghanaian kitchen queen lighting up your feed, just landed on TIME’s 100 Most Influential Creators for 2025. That’s huge. I mean, out of the whole planet, she’s up there with folks like Kai Cenat and Khaby Lame? Wild.
She pulled this off right after showing up as Ghana’s *only* rep at TikTok’s big-deal Cannes Lions thing in France. No pressure, right? Just casually waving the Ghanaian flag among all those global heavyweights.
Now, Chef Abby’s not just some random name on a list. She’s got over 1.4 MILLION TikTok followers, and trust me, people can’t get enough of her. If you’ve ever seen her flipping waakye or turning jollof into literal art, you know what I mean. She takes classic Ghanaian food waakye, kenkey, banku, all that good stuff and jazzes it up, making you want to lick your screen. It’s not just about the food either; she’s serving culture and stories on every plate, making Ghanaian cuisine feel like the main character.
She even posted on Facebook, flipping out (understandably), like, “Wow, I’m on the same list as Mr Beast and Ishowspeed?! Unreal.” Honestly, I’d have the same reaction.
And before all this TIME magazine buzz, she was kicking it with TikTok’s CEO, Shou Zi Chew, in France. NBD. Just another Tuesday, apparently.
Point is: Chef Abby’s blowing up, and not just in Ghana. She’s winning hearts, repping her culture, and basically putting Ghanaian food on the digital map. You love to see it.
