Summary: Akilah Hughes has been making people laugh on YouTube years. And while her biggest videos have millions of views, her average video garners respectable, but not huge numbers—meaning that making a living just through advertising isn't a thing. Akilah considers her YouTube channel as a series of audition tapes for potential work in traditional media, and she's been very successful in doing that; she has lots of hosting work under her belt, a new project with Crooked Media, and a full time gig hosting a cooking show.
