If you ever doubt the power of storytelling in transforming a business, Nana Afoah Appiah-Korang's journey will make you a believer ✨ When we first met Nana, she was hesitant to share much about the ready-to-eat manufacturing business, Amayi Foods Limited, which she co-founded with two other phenomenal African women. The brand's image and awareness had taken a back seat as they focused entirely on operations in Nigeria. Enter our host, Elsie Mbugua, MBS who encouraged Nana to step out of her comfort zone and share their remarkable story. On one of our Doers Defined Podcast episodes, Nana candidly admitted that they had been so immersed in the business that they overlooked the importance of building a strong brand. Fast forward to today—Amayi Foods was just featured in Forbes! Their story is now known to the world, and their brand is shining as brightly as their work deserves 🌍 This is what being part of the Doers Defined community is all about—having a network of people who cheer for you, encourage you, and amplify your journey.
