Having ventured into animal farming with her husband, Kimberly is now devoted to ensuring that the business grows and becomes successful.
"I would not go back for an $100 hour job, I would not go back rushing to go punch the clock to make somebody else rich. Here you get to decide what you are going to do, when you do it and how you want to do it. In the US, you are kind of groomed to be an employee.”

Living on a farm like this is my dream and I'm working on making sure it happens soon here
Wonderful interview and great to see my sister Kimberly and brother Rev Mensah thriving in Ghana! I remember when we moved to Ghana and that time you were still in the States and we used to chat about your relocation to Ghana.
