## Bio

Lynn Yamada Davis spent nearly three decades at AT&T Labs after degrees from MIT and Columbia Business School, then discovered video editing in 2020 at 63. Her "Cooking with Lynja" account blew up on the strength of frenetic cuts and internet-native humor - recipes delivered at TikTok speed with a straight face and a grandmother's warmth. By the time she died on January 1, 2024, she had racked up 13.9 million YouTube subscribers, over 22 million TikTok followers, and a trio of Streamy Awards. She turned late-career reinvention into a masterclass, proving that fluency in meme culture has no age limit.
