🎙️ Girls Who Cook Podcast Returns with Global Heat and a Viral Guest: Miss Trudy Shares Her Raw Rise, Risk, and Resilience
By: The Girls Who Cook Team | June 2025
After a brief production break, the Girls Who Cook podcast is back—and hotter than ever. Hosted by Ghana-based creators Morencia and Ama, the vibrant duo returned with a bang, kicking off their new episode with one of Africa’s most influential female YouTubers, Miss Trudy.
The theme? Resilience. Hustle. And the raw truth behind the glow-up.
“We’re self-funded, and honestly, this is why we need sponsorships to keep going. Content creation isn’t cheap,” Amma emphasized in the intro. “We’re back, and we’re coming for everything!”
🌍 From Kenya to Ghana: Miss Trudy Unfiltered
Miss Trudy—Kenyan-born storyteller and digital nomad—joined the show to share her incredible journey from supermarket promoter to viral YouTuber and business mogul.
With over 450,000 subscribers, Miss Trudy has captured stories across 30+ African countries, redefining digital media through honest storytelling and global travel vlogging.
“People think I always knew what I was doing—but I was depressed, broke, and fired from a $3-a-day job when YouTube found me,” she shared. “Then a DM from Wode Maya changed everything.”
Now married to Ghana’s biggest YouTuber, Miss Trudy and Maya are considered African content royalty. But she reminded fans the journey was anything but romantic at the start.
“He messaged me for a collab—I saw it three months late. I almost didn’t go. But I took the risk. I flew to Ethiopia with my last $400. And that decision changed my entire life.”
💍 Marriage, Culture Shocks & Ghana Life
Now living in Ghana, Trudy revealed cultural shocks—from Ghanaian politeness (“I had to learn to say please—in Kenya we don’t!”) to the nation’s spicy food and multi-meat meals (“Why are Ghanaians mixing fish, chicken, beef in one plate?!”).
On marriage? “Honestly, I wasn’t looking for love. He wasn’t my type. But the more he spoke, the more I fell. Maya is the smartest man I’ve ever met.”
Still, being married to Africa’s biggest YouTuber hasn’t been easy.
“People told him, ‘She’s trying to compete with you.’ Or, ‘She’s in your shadow.’ But I’ve learned to walk my own path. Maya taught me how to believe in myself, how to monetize, how to win.”
🎓 From Dumb to Driven: Breaking Academic Stereotypes
In a moving segment, Trudy opened up about childhood struggles—poor grades, bullying, and being underestimated.
“I was always below average in school. I tried. I prayed. But nothing worked. People said I’d never make it. But I had this fire inside me. I knew there was more.”
Today, Trudy’s vision board is almost entirely checked off—YouTube success, international travel, her own Airbnb in Kenya, and even buying her brother a brand-new car after wrecking his.
“That’s the power of dreams, resilience, and saying yes when it’s terrifying.”
🧠 Masterclass in YouTube Success: From Views to Value
The episode didn’t just entertain—it taught.
Morencia and Amma walked listeners through how to start YouTube in Africa with practical, detailed tips:
Don’t start with vlogs—nobody knows you.
Research thumbnails, titles, and target audience.
Think globally: African content deserves international viewership.
Build your brand with purpose—every video should link to a product or business you own.
“The YouTube dream in Africa is real,” Morencia said. “But don’t just chase AdSense. Own the business behind the brand.”
💰 Real Numbers, Real Goals
Miss Trudy revealed she now earns an average of $5,000/month, with brand deals going as high as $20,000 for a single campaign—especially when working with U.S.-based companies. And that’s just the beginning.
🎧 Final Word: This Is More Than a Podcast
The Girls Who Cook podcast may be a catchy name, but the mission goes deeper.
“We don’t just cook in the kitchen—we cook ideas, culture, identity, and ambition,” said Amma. “This podcast is our loud diary. And the next chapter? Global domination.”
