She demystifies food science, microbiology and evidence-based communication through educational videos and hands-on experiments. Leana Deeb, another UK-based creator, is a travel storyteller and history enthusiast who blends her love for culture and history into immersive experiences, often focusing on British history.
Olly Bowman, a medical doctor from the UK, is recognised for fighting health misinformation. He combines clinical expertise with engaging pop-culture storytelling to make complex medical concepts accessible. The list also includes creators from other countries such as Indonesia, Nigeria and Kazakhstan, with follower counts ranging from 12 million to 50,000.
To select the final nominees, TikTok’s global team evaluated creators based on video creations, views, account growth, likes, comments, interactions with followers and content that has sparked global conversations over the past six months.
