    Areejatu is a wonderful and really sweet person.
    She works hard despite the work being so tiresome.
    I also loved that she broke that generational curse of not going to school and made sure,as best as she could, her children went to school so that their lives can be different😌
    She's just simply a good person🤗

    Another amazing video. I always learn something new when watching your video. You have interviewed some of the most hard working, strong, empowering Women of Ghana. They should be a inspiration to all Women everywhere. The fact that she’s 60 years old and work as hard as she does, should put some of these young folks to shame. I hope someone sends her the money she needs for a gas stove. She is most deserving to have what she needs to make her product.

    We call this Alaqua in takoradi. It’s so nice. Even my nigerian and Sierra Leone friends request this when i travel. It’s yummy
    I buy these in bulk anytime i’m in Ghana. These women deserve all the accolades. Nobody should ask for a discount because it’s not easy koraa
    Girl child education is important. I feel sorry for her however I’m happy to hear that she supported her children by ensuring they received good education.

    Ms. Ama, I don't quite comprehend this cycle, this hard working strong mother & her mother before her, make these delicious & nutritious snacks, that supported many generations. Why hasn't anyone decided to invest in this business that is sustaining them to bring it to a if not more modern, at least a larger scale production. The outlook & mindset of some of our people sure does baffle me at times. I see this happening all over the place, where our forebears start making something, which is supported by the community & boom we send our children off to school & bam the business goes burst, because no one saw the value in growing & developing said business. Can't see the forest for the trees mentality is too rampant in some of our people.
