Lynja Yamada Davis is a grandmother, and didn’t start posting on TikTok until she was 63 years old. Her talent for cooking, and silly sense of humor has earned her millions of followers. Despite some serious health challenges that began in 2019, she consistently produces three to 4 videos a week.
Her son Tim helps her with the video production and script writing, but the true magic of her channel comes from Lynja herself. She has a natural sense of comedic timing that cannot be beat!
Grandma Droniak

Known as the sassiest grandma on TikTok, the best part about 93-year-old Lillian Droniak is that she doesn’t realize how funny she is. From solid life advice, fashion modeling, tips on dating in your 90’s, or demonstrating her latest dance moves, Lillian is one of the highlights of TikTok.
In one video, she surprises her new boyfriend with a smartphone. She explains his current flip phone is not going to “cut it” in their relationship, and he needs a new phone to avoid missing her calls!
