My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana, from the Ghanaian food, to the Ghanaian culture, to the Ghanaian lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and help inspire to explore Ghana.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.
Rhoda is a serious, smart, dedicated business lady, within a short time she has set up two businesses, her pop corn store is beautifully laid out, the equipment is top notch and on top of that she has created employment for 11 people, keep your head up Rhoda, sky is the limit, greetings from Kenya.
She’s amazing ❤
the opportunities in Ghana are endless
Indeed 💕
@@JasmineAmaa true
GH is blessed if not the greedy leaders.
OMG, this vid is so uncanny. Both Jasmine and Rhoda are gorgeous, are from the Ghanaian diaspora of Australia and sound very similar. 😍
❤️❤️
I don't know but recently I've been having this strong desire to relocate to Ghana from Italy to help build my country and our continent as a whole. I gotta find me something that I can also do. God bless Africa 🌍
💕💕
Please take a bold step and do it and you won’t regret it
Hmmmm plan well before you regret. The bribery and corruption is too much
She is and will be more successful. She has a good heart and naturally a great personality. What amazes me is her first class way of maintaining quality standards across everything about the business. Keep it up, lady.
I think preman is the right name for this popcorns because it’s high that’s the meaning of the word, preman,it’s like sometimes you’ll see some people who are always dressed good with makeup and everything even if they’re going to make groceries those are the people that Ghanaians call preman they don’t go local.😄
Makes sensee
I just saw this same interview about this pop corn lady on another channel, great lady full of ambition and dreams
🥰
Kudos Rhoda. You have a whole popcorn empire in the making which will eventually become a household name.
💯 💕
Business anywhere in the world takes 3 to 5 years at least to be stable and make tangible profits.
The fact that she's employed 11 people🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 you ask great questions Jasmine👌🏾
💕💕
I think you should be doing more of this type of interviews. You ask really good questions.
Definitely will ❤
Yeah she does
Popcorn my favorite comfort snack

I really enjoyed this video and learnt quite a lot about doing business in Ghana. Thanks for sharing.
A popcorn business
I love her shop, the colors, pictures, and vibe would have me coming back to patronize her!
This is a new one so different from the traditional foods that you normally show. I love those too, don't get me wrong, but this one is different😊
Great interviewer…listening to Jasmine it’s like I’m listening to Yvonne Nelson talking..I’m happy to see majority of Ghanaian succeed GBU
Hi Jasmine and Rhoda, very proud of you. Keep it up. Aunty Bea (Gillean's mum 💖)
Wow I'm impressed well done. Definitely need to try Preman popcorn when next in Ghana. Kudos to her
Loved this interview! Best questions and most transparent response ever!! This was exceptional and insightful! Blessings to both ladies! Bravo 🎊🔥
Although I recently watched her interview with Dentaa, I had to watch yours as well. I got a different perspective of her story from this. It’s just amazing seeing people do what they are meant to do ❤
I think I'll watch Dentaa's own too...I wanted to ignore it at first
Great interview....inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!❤
lovely video Jasmine😀
Thank u xx
Nice interview!👌
Glad you enjoyed it!❤
Nice to see another Ghanaian come from Australia. A must visit when I move.
This is such a great interview with lots of information and experience given. I appreciate her not being all about profit but also having genuine care and interest in the community and people. I hope that you and Rhoda can or have developed a serious friendship that will grow and mature in the years to come.
I applaud this lady. Kudos. Keep it up.
Well done to Rhoda. Thanks for sharing Jasmine

Hey hunny let do a collaboration video ? I move from US to Ghana I love this video great information I cannot believe popcorn a success business in Ghana wow 😯
Ghana love simple things
Wow! Im inspired. When I go back home I'm going to venture into pop corn. We don't have such pop corn eat outs where I'm from. I might consult with this lady at some point. Thanks for bringing her to your channel.
If I had known about this popcorn shop before or during my trip to Ghana this past October, I would have definitely checkedit out. I will try to upon my next visit to Ghana again.
Good Day Jas that's a very good Business she should try sampling with mixing the cinnamon cayenne pepper and sugar together or cayenne pepper by it self, the cayenne give popcorn a nice flavor.
Jasmine you’ve improved so much. 💯 Very decent outfit by the way.
Excellent video.👏🏾💐🕊️💕
Wishing her success💐
💕💕
Great video!! Two great business women.
❤❤
I just started mine last month 🙏🏼 watching her now motivate me to do more and take my popcorn business serious
Ah I wasn't thinking about popcorn today but I want some now 😋 😫
😂
"By the Grace of God" in almost every sentence no wonder you got that dream.
Great interview Jasmine, this is a snack (popcorn) that can be done and sold anywhere in the world. All the luck and blessings to Preman pop 🍿 🌽 🍿 corn owner.
Thanks Juliet 💕
Two queens have an interesting talk, thanks for the video and i wish Rhoda all the best.

My fav on the job. Again....beautiful interview....nice ladies!
Thanks Peter ❤️❤️
That's dope
Still trying to learn more Twi, but love hearing you both laugh, and mix some Twi in the middle along the interview.
💕💕
Jas enjoyed this video insightful and thoughtful in that popcorn 🍿 as a business, would not be my choice, but clearly there is a market. Brand creation, its great when Ghanaians return home and become employers of persons or partner in business lifting the nation. Well done Rhonda !!
Definitely a market for it ❤
Another great informative biz video. I'm glad you always ask them about the process they go through to set up. Like she said, in the diaspora, you can get all the info from your living room whilst down there, you have to really get on your grind and get dirty. Keep em coming.
Glad it was helpful!❤❤
Thanks 👍 Sister Ama 😘 💓 Home Sweet home Ghana 🇬🇭 is our Motherland, Africa Paradise 🌍 ❤️ 💙
She is definitely making some difference though ,yummy yummy 😋 😍 thanks for sharing sis Jasmine
Anytime ❤️❤️
More please
More to come 💕
Grt interview ❤️. Gud business ❤️
❤️❤️
Great interview my sister you always do great nice and nice business
❤️❤️
Love my GhanaRoos, Returnees from the Australian Diaspora, might be corny, but this is what Jasmine inspired in me! Everything I always here about Ghana, is how important you need to know your "Why", which is amazing that Rhoda, would find hers in a dream. Thanks so much for sharing Jasmine, do you think your social work training, or youtube, made you a better interviewer, even hard hitting tough questions and going for the details?
Can't wait to get back to Ghana after a trip back home to Aus, and taste this popcorn! Thank you to both of you!
Thanks Ato, appreciate it. Definitely lots of interviewing skills developed from social work 💕
What a brilliant ideal. I love Popcorn 🍿...
Agreed ❤
Good job sister keep up 👍👍👍👍🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷
Another amazing video Jasmine! I am in Ghana for another 2 weeks and will certainly go to experience the amazing-looking popcorn! I will take several bags back to the US with me! 🥰🥰
So happy to hear 🥰🥰
So happy to hear 🥰🥰
Finally I'm one of the first 10 to comment
Heyy 💕
She loves the culture and can connect
Impressive ❤
Come lets start our business 🥰
Yooo I remember the interviewer from a nice fufu video
💕
Today I’m first😂🤩
❤️❤️ heyyy
When I see such ideas 💡 I say to myself damn why am I always thinking so complicated . 😅 . I really enjoyed this interview. Great inspiration
Its really not u know 😘
Yes that's the name ama , I love that fufu video , I turned on my Bluetooth but couldn't pair
Thanks Nii xx
Ghana's nouveau riche like to flex and post so we have to get our coconut sellers, plantains and peanut people some fancy setting and it will be game over 😜 😂😂. People dey search spots/joints
GREAT 👍VLOG.SEEING HOW WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS IN GHANA OPERATE. SHE'S DETERMINED.
Very determined ❤
Yes @Ama more business-focused content
U got it ❤
May I make a suggestion? She should think about moving her popcorn business to a movie theater
Jasmine, do you write all these questions or does it just pop up in your head? You really drill and probe your guest, touch all grounds and bases well done.
Thanks so much, no they just pop up 🥰
In fact wa ye a deer tnx
❤️
Jasmine your skin is the most beautiful
Aw thanks ❤
Such a beautiful soul fun lady
Hey jasmine, I think she should embrace the name the kids are calling her queen of popcorn plus somehow invent the name alongside the original. She smart! Popcorn queen also sounds great! Anyone can run with the name n setup a similar business as I myself just thought off lol. Great interview😁
I think so too 🥰
Competition is great but the name drives customers!
@@kingneverdiesking6233 agree great suggestions you made. She can scale to other countries also supply cinema houses and supermarkets
Hi jasimine, pls is there anyway i can be mentored by this lady, am in Kumasi and am currently unemployed and wish to set up a sobolo and pastries business, but struggling to get customers. Pls would be very greatful for the help. Thank u.
One needs to generate money to live in any country.
💚
❤
She has followed her dream
Can we do interview @Jasmine Ama?
Hello, good morning /afternoon, whichever applies !! How do I buy on amazon in ghana? Please
I like popcorn 🍿
❤️
I love the direction of your channel so far and I hope you continue. I just wish we stuck to English as you have an international audience. It’s okay to have a few comments here and there but at some point whole sentences really make it difficult to fully concentrate on other non verbal communication that could be going on as we have to rely on the subtitles. It changes the experience a bit. I hope you can appreciate this feedback as I have really enjoyed your content recently.
Thank uu xx
Delivery outside Gh or...
A whole me I went to Australia to do my masters…….. lol 😂 I laugh saaa when the force is massive u can’t resist
🥰🥰👏👏👏👏🙏🙏
❤❤
Hi, pls how can I learn from her
When it comes to labour the food industry has a lot of turn overs. Even Amazon experiences lots of turn overs.
