Drea Okeke Biography

Drea Okeke, aka @DreaKnowsBest, is a Nigerian-American content creator, comedian, and storyteller known for her relatable skits and uplifting messages on TikTok, inspiring over 6.4 million followers.

In her undergraduate years at Penn State University, Okeke started sharing six-second videos impersonating her Nigerian mother on the now-defunct Vine app, quickly gaining nearly one million followers. After graduation, she pursued an engineering career, but soon discovered her true passion lay in content creation and empowering fellow Black creators. This realization led her to relocate to Los Angeles, where she earned a master's degree in media strategy, entrepreneurship, and innovation at the University of Southern California.

Before long, Okeke captured the attention of the mainstream media. She has been featured in ABC News, Billboard, BuzzFeed, E! News, Forbes, GQ, teenVOGUE, Variety, and more. She was nominated for the 2019 Shorty Award for “TikToker of the Year,” has collaborated with notable celebrities like Mariah Carey and Tracee Ellis Ross, and was tapped to host the 2022 BET Awards red carpet to teach some of the biggest names in Black Hollywood her favorite Nigerian slang.

Named by New York magazine’s The Cut as one of “The Best TikTokers to Follow” and to Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, Okeke has successfully mastered the art of balancing comedy with kindness and cultural insight. She has taken her storytelling abilities to the Fuse original series, "We Need to Talk About America," where she provides sharp-witted and honest reactions to American pop culture oddities. She has represented TikTok on many occasions, including on the stages of 2019’s Cannes Lions Film Festival and VidCon and MC’ing the main stage at TikTok World in 2022. She has also hosted the Nissan x BET “Next Up” contest series.

Okeke has continued to expand her work as an entertaining keynote speaker and engaging host, sharing her wisdom and expertise on topics including self-love, culture, reaching millennials and Gen Z on social media, and building one’s brand. Through her podcast “Do It 4 The Content with Drea Okeke" and TikTok Masterclass, “Next Level Influence,” she offers tips and strategies for the next generation of creators to grow their platforms and turn their passions for digital creation into a paycheck.

Her now-global reach has captured the attention of some of today’s biggest brands and media networks for spokesperson collaborations, corporate workshops, and consulting, including Nissan, Google, Coca-Cola, Disney, Netflix, McDonald’s, Bumble, Old Navy, CoverGirl Cosmetics, to name just a few. An impassioned advocate, Okeke continues to give back to her communities, having sponsored multiple scholarships for first-generation African American college students and even helping to build a school in Africa.
