Getty Hannah Hart speaks on stage during the Inaugural GLAAD Rising Stars Luncheon at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on March 31, 2017 in Beverly Hills, California.

The passion has led to her winning a number of awards, like “Best Female Performance in a Comedy” for “My Drunk Kitchen” at the 3rd Streamy Awards, Best Comedy for the same show in 2014, and “Best In Food” at the Shorty Awards just last year.
