She began the roasted plantain business with just GH₵150 and said business was booming when she started, but now plantain is hard to come by, so it has made business a bit slow but maintains it is better than her previous job.

Mabel says she is well versed in catering and a knowledgeable cook. She says she can prepare Lebanese, Ghanaian and Nigerian dishes. She aims to operate her own restaurant in the future.

Mabel encouraged the youth to work hard and find something doing no matter how small it may be.
