Serwaa Amihere visited Ama Yeboah and her family in Kumasi to donate some goodies and also spend time with them.
The visit was very calm and friendly, not stiff at all. It felt more like a sister visiting family than anything formal.
While chatting, Serwaa asked Ama Yeboah a very honest question.
Ama Yeboah's English interview veers into Twi
She asked if she was shy. Ama Yeboah smiled and quickly admitted that yes, she is very shy.
Serwaa then followed up with another question, asking how someone who is that shy managed to start content creation and comedy.
At that point, Ama Yeboah laughed loudly, almost as if she had been caught off guard.
She then asked, “Menka Twi?” meaning “Can I speak Twi?” Serwaa replied without hesitation, “Ka Twi,” telling her to go ahead and speak Twi.
Ama Yeboah narrates her comedy journey
Explaining herself in Twi, Ama Yeboah said she had always loved comedy and entertaining people.
Making others laugh was something she enjoyed naturally. The problem was her shyness. She said she used to overthink a lot.
She worried that if a video went viral and she met someone in town who recognised her, she would not know how to talk or respond.
That fear almost stopped her completely. But at some point, she felt she was wasting her talent.
She said she kept telling herself that if she did not try, she would never know how far she could go.
That was when she decided to start, even though she was scared.
She began creating content with a Huawei phone, using whatever she had. Later on, she was able to switch to an iPhone XR.
Ama Yeboah said everything she has achieved so far is by God’s grace.
