Drew Afualo: TikTok Sensation, Author, and Podcaster

Drew Afualo is a podcaster, author, and immensely popular TikTok creator. Drew studied sports journalism in college and originally aspired to be an on-air sports anchor. After graduating from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, she worked in PR before landing a digital content creator job at the NFL. At first, it seemed like a dream job, but the position wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, and in January 2020, she was let go. When the pandemic hit, she was living at home with her parents and feeling further away than ever from her career dreams. One day, she started posting videos on TikTok on a whim. Viewers were immediately drawn to her hilarious, perfectly articulated takedowns of misogynistic comments. Her following grew quickly, at times gaining over 100,000 followers every couple of days. In the years since, she’s continued to grow her audience and now has over 8 million followers on TikTok. Drew’s also started two hit podcasts and authored a best-selling book, Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve. This year, she was named on The Hollywood Reporter’s List of Most Influential Influencers.
