How Afia Turned Failure Into a Thriving Yoghurt Brand
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.
