Hi! My name is Akua Serwaa. My date of birth is 20th August, 1968. I live in Accra which is the capital of Ghana. Actually I come from another city - Ahemang, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, where I lived for eleven years, but 20 years ago, I decided to pursue greener pasture I moved Accra with my 3 girls. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother, all are in Kumasi.

I am interested in music, cooking and listening to news. I have always loved being a trader, specificially in food stuffs. I started selling at the age of seven (7). In Ahemang, I would go and sell my parent's farm produces in the village market.

I remember myself thinking at age 7 that it was the best thing in the world to do, I mean trading. Whenever, I had chance, I would go sell my parent's farm produce at the village market. I love selling. Because of trading, I couldn't further my school when I completed Senior High School. I started my selling maize in bags. For the past 20 years, I have been selling maize.

My favorite gosepl artist in Ghana is Mama Esther. I think she is one of the best gospel artists in Ghana and even beyound. I have almost all her albums. I am a christian and fellowish with The Church of Pentecost, Mallam, Accra. I am currently the Witness Financial Secretary. Witness Movement, is a youth wing of our church. I love evangelism too.

I have always been good part of the church's evangelism group. I like talking to people. I also like praying.

I sell a bag of maize. For the past 20 years, this is the business I have been doing to support my family. I pride msyelf on attention to detail and open communications. Maize is high comsumed in Ghana. We use maize to prepare most delicious meals in Ghana, like portridge, kenkey, banku, akpeley to mention but a few. When it comes to getting quality maize for my customers, you can count on my expertise and experience.

I buy these bags of maize from local farmers and bring them to the city to sell to my customers.

My years of experience working with local farmers has enhance my communication skills as well. I also deal with a lot of drivers since they send us to and from the farm lands in the villages to purcahse the maize. Because of my business, I travel a lot. In order to get qaulity maize for my customers, I pay close attention to the details of each bag of maize. I believe the difference between mediocrity and excellence lies in the details.

I have shop at the Anyaa Market in Accra. For the past 20 years, I have successfully supplied quality maize for my customers. I feel it is important to develop long term relationships and I have been successful at doing so with all my customers.
