Ok so I’m a day late on posting this, but things have been so busy since youtube published the list of the 16 Next Chefs they’ve selected to take part in a fabulous program called Youtube Next Chef

And yep WE MADE  THE LIST!!! I say WE because obviously NONE of this would be possible for me without all of you! So before I get into the details let me first thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to view my youtube channel, leave comments, rate and interact with me. A lot of you have been with me since the very beginning and I appreciate all the love and support you all give me. Unreal!

Ok so what is this program all about? Well here it is in a nutshell but you can read more here. Basically youtube  sent out a big “casting call” for youtube cooks who thought they had what it takes to be one of youtube Next Chefs.(Thanks to Kimmytube for giving me the heads up to apply. Love ya girlie!) They then picked 16 channels that they thought had what it takes!

 

Here’s my video on my cooking style and what I hope to gain from the program

It was very humbling that they saw the potential in my little channel with my unprofessional edited and poorly lit videos lol.

But hopefully you’ll be seeing a BIG change in my videos because youtube is working with us 16 chefs to help us create top notch videos for our channel. They sent us a box full of video-making equipment (including a new camera and yall know how much I complain about my camera. God finally heard my prayer lol). They are also taking us through a 3 month virtual video creating course to help perfect our recording skills as well as providing a big chunk of change for advertising.

I’m so excited that I’ll be able to give you all clear, crisp, well-edited cooking videos now because recording and editing is surely not my strong points.

So stay tuned for better videos, more video and some fun changes on Divas Can Cook!!!
