    Hello lovely people, so my laptop has finally given up on me and hence this video was impacted a little. It was supposed to be up yesterday. Do pardon me about the missing subtitles as well. Hoping to sort my laptop out today.
    Akia is from the northern part of Ghana near Bolgatanga but she grew up in Koforidua hence why she speaks twi so fluently.
    She has been making and selling waakye for 4years now. She used to make about 100ghs ($17.21) per day. Due to the pandemic she made some losses. She is currently trying to get back on her feet, she is currently breaking even.
    I hope you enjoy the video anyway. Don’t forget to LIKE and COMMENT even if its just an emoji 🇬🇭❤️🥰🙏🙏
    To support Akia you can contact her directly on 0557612449 or you can use my patreon or paypal. www.patreon.com/JasmineAma

      We are not spoilt. This is a result of colonialism. They take from Africa and leave the ppl to fin for self. And the euro currency has so much value. There is no reason she should be working this hard and long for 17.21 USD a day??? And paying her workers??? Smh. There has to be a revolt. This is inhumane. I admire her strength though.

It's wonderful that you are taking the time to show all of the different sides of Ghana; including the everyday lives of real people. Some of our people may not have much, but they do extraordinary things with what they do have. Keep up the good work Jasmine. God is blessing you, and thank you for your efforts. I appreciate you!

    This woman truly cares about her customers! "Ekaw" (don't know the english word) has been found to be very unhealthy and the fact that she could have simply used it to cook the beans and saved herself hours of hard work says it all. Most beans/ waakye sellers and even individuals use this because it makes the beans soften quicker and you don't have to keep stirring...so to find a seller who does not use it is pleasantly surprising. I'm truly very impressed.
    Edit: “kanwu” not “ekaw” (forgive my initial spelling lol) is also called “saltpetre” or potassium nitrate (crystalline KNO3) in english. It is a substance used in the production of some soaps, gun power (or other explosives) and fertilisers. That is why it’s not very advisable for consumption.
