Chefabbys is a Ghanaian food content creator, recipe developer, and African food ambassador. She showcases the richness of African cuisine through easy-to-follow recipes and engaging storytelling, bringing the continent’s diverse food culture to audiences around the world.
At BRIDGE Summit, Chefabbys will share how African creators are using food content to celebrate heritage, build global communities, and reshape the narrative of African cuisine in the digital space.
Before the rise of bite-sized content and algorithm-driven storytelling, some creators built influence the long way, through deep curiosity, lived experience, and long-form craft. In this intergenerational conversation, award-winning chef and storyteller Andrew Zimmern reflects on how he went from kitchens to global screens, using food as a bridge to culture, identity, and understanding. Joining him is a new-generation creator who ascended through digital platforms, bringing a fresh perspective shaped by real-time audiences and algorithmic winds. Together, they explore what has changed, and what hasn’t, when it comes to building trust, telling human stories, and connecting across cultures. What can today’s creators learn from the depth and patience of pre-social-media storytelling? And how can legacy storytellers adapt to a world moving at the speed of the scroll while keeping meaning at the center?
