In a recent interview with Angel FM, the young viral sensation told her story from being dyslexic to having nothing to depend on her parents.

According to Afia, she dropped out of school in primary because it was hard for her to learn and understand.

Shortly after dropping out of school, she became pregnant, making her situation worse and influencing her decision to go into garbage collection.

"Everyone in the Techiman market knows me. I used to collect their rubbish. They nicknamed me "Agyeaboso" because I was not taking chances with any of my customers. If I'm at work, there'll be no rubbish left for any of my competitors", she said.

Afia Likki Soap was proud as she talked about her passion for the garbage collection job at the time.

Afia Likki Soap's life changed after an individual she calls 'Sister Jennifer' introduced her to liquid soap making.

She paused the garbage collection and ventured into the making and selling of her liquid soap products.

A video of her recommending her product to Nana Ama McBrown went viral and earned her an invitation to the latter's Onua Showtime show.
