Returning to her videos, let’s revisit the enjoyable legacy she left for us to remember about her.
Her TikTok account hosts a diverse range of entertaining videos, with a focus on food and memes. There are meme-fied cooking tutorials, trials of viral food hacks to see if they’re ‘bussin’ or nah,’ and also some light updates and vlogs.
