How Afia Turned Failure Into a Thriving Yoghurt Brand


Listen Later

In this episode of the Dreams & Feelings Podcast, we sit down with Afia Kwakyewaa Agyapong Kwakye, CEO of Cynlizelle Foods, producers of Akwaaba Yoghurt, for a raw and inspiring conversation. From growing up in a broken home and being raised by her grandmother, to battling depression and still finding the strength to build a thriving yoghurt brand — Afia’s story is one of resilience, faith, and pure determination.


She opens up about:

• Her childhood and how it shaped her drive

• The reality of entrepreneurship as a young woman in Ghana

• Why she refuses to do exhibitions (and how some exploit young entrepreneurs)

• What keeps her going when the journey feels heavy


This is more than just a business story — it’s about the weight of silent battles, the courage to keep moving, and the hope that comes with chasing your dreams.
