Kenyan food content creator Holy Dave has won the Online Chef of the Year award at the inaugural Creative Hustlers Awards.
In his acceptance speech, Holy Dave thanked his fans for their unwavering support and dedicated the award to them. He also stressed that his journey began as a means to inspire others, regardless of their skill level.
“I didn’t win this because I’m the best chef online, actually I’m not even a chef. I’m just an average guy inspiring the average guy to jump in the kitchen,” he said.
Holy Dave’s culinary journey started unexpectedly when he recorded and shared a meal preparation video during the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020. His passion for cooking was further ignited by his mother’s encouragement to pursue baking. Over time, he continued to create content that resonated with his audience, both online and offline.
“Something that started as a joke the other day during the pandemic is now becoming a source of inspiration and entertainment both online and offline,” he remarked.
Holy Dave’s victory is a testament to his creativity, passion, and dedication. It is also a reminder that anyone can achieve their dreams, regardless of their background or experience.
