An inspiring young lady, Jivana Danquah who recently grabbed the headlines with her inspiring story of how she got first class even though she was combining her business as a vendor with schooling, has opened up about her plans for the future.
Speaking in an interview with YEN.com.gh, Jivana Danquah said that it was during the COVID-19 period that she got the idea to start selling mashed kenkey (ice kenkey) and Zobo.
The first-class graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) graduate has opened up on when and why she opted to sell sobolo and ice kenkey.
She also revealed that her decision to start the business was also fueled by the need to raise money to support her academic pursuit at the university.

Jivana, after her first degree, has been made a teaching assistant at the Geography Department of the university where she is carrying out her national service.
She says her role will not affect her business although she admits she must now find new and innovative ways of selling her products going forward.
“My business still holds even through NSS. Though I am serving as a teaching assistant (Lecturer) at the Geography department, I will continue selling,” she said.
The young lady concluded by admonishing students with financial difficulties to not give up but rather strive hard with confidence and purposefulness.
“My advice to students facing challenges is that, change is only possible through effort. Don’t stop trying if you want to change your situation. Work hard for your future freedom,” she added.
Jivana Nyarkoh Danquah was part of the class of 2022 that graduated during the 56th congregation of the university.
