I have known Laamia Saadu since kindergarten. She graduated from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in 2015 with a BSc in Agribusiness Management. She is very passionate about agriculture, working with children, civil rights, and economic empowerment. She started a bakery in April 2016 called BayaklyCakes. Before then, she worked with Agripro, a startup in Ghana dedicated to bridging the gap between organic farms and organic produce consumers living in urban communities.
We invited her to speak with our kids because we wanted them to hear from someone who was already doing what we eventually want them to do. In addition, we thought the girls in our class will relate with her better experience and insights than they would with ours. Together, she and I drew parallels between her approach to solving a problem through business and the WAGi Journey our kids had been on thus far. Our kids loved her visit…perhaps her mention of bringing them cupcakes later added to their enthusiasm!
