I realised I had to take things serious

She said the defining moment for her was seeing how her colleagues at the bank would always praise her products and question why she was still working with them despite having the know-how to produce excellent soap and body products

“I was working as a relationship officer with a bank and the demanding nature of the job was just too much. Also, it wasn’t as if the salary was that huge so I just felt that I had to return to doing what I enjoy and also to take it seriously” she said

Quizzed as to whether the business is lucrative, Yaa Amina Danso Misa responded in the affirmative.

“I earn way more in this business than I did as a banker, trust me in a month when sales are bad, the soap business gives me more money than I earned as a banker” she added.
