Battling with self-confidence as she stated in the video, she needed to lose some weight and that led to her meal-prepping.

Her friends began to notice her progress and the changes and inquired about what she was doing differently.

Making the move

Realising how meal-prepping was positively impacting her weight loss journey, she sent word out to her friends about her availability to meal-prep for them at a fee if they are interested.

Starting NyoNyo Gh didn't mean quitting her 8-5 job right away, she said.

Rather, she juggled between the two to be sure venturing into the food business would pay off and could sustain her livelihood.

She worked both jobs for one and a half years and was finally convinced NyoNyo Gh had become an actual business and she needed to employ more people.
