YouTube star Hannah Hart is having a really good week! Last week it was announced that Hannah landed her own six-episode Food Network series, and today the news dropped that she will be honored with a GLAAD award at San Francisco’s gala on Sept. 8, according to a release from GLAAD.

YouTube fans will recognize Hannah from My Drunk Kitchen, the wildly popular video series she launched in 2011, in which she mixes cocktails with humor and killer recipes. But GLAAD will honor the out 29-year-old with the Davidson/Valentini Award, “…presented to an LGBT media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality and acceptance for the LGBT community,” according to the release from GLAAD. The award is named for GLAAD’s first executive director, Craig Davidson, and his partner Michael Valentini.

“By using her powerful platform to elevate LGBTQ stories, Hannah Hart has proven to be a tireless advocate for self-love and acceptance,” said GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a release. “Her messages of empowerment inspire countless LGBTQ youth and move hearts and minds across the world.”

Beyond serving up delicious food made while buzzed, Hannah is an author whose book, My Drunk Kitchen: A Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Going with Your Gut, landed on the New York Times bestseller list for six weeks. She’s also an actress who starred in Camp Takota and in the upcoming Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.
