She talks about the fears surrounding childbirth, the things women don't always say out loud, and why being honest about the difficult parts of motherhood matters.Most importantly, she speaks directly to the men and husbands who may never fully understand what their partners go through.Watch, listen and join the conversation.Subscribe to The Peswa Podcast for more honest conversations with the people building businesses, changing industries and creating their own paths.#ThePeswaPodcast #EnoQuagraine #TalkativeMom #Motherhood #Pregnancy #Childbirth #MaternalHealth #Parenting #Entrepreneurship #Ghana

From experimenting with entrepreneurship as a teenager and organizing events from his university dorm room, to moving from the United States to Ghana, working within his family's business ecosystem and eventually helping build Afrochella—now AfroFuture—into a major African cultural platform, his journey has been shaped by ambition, opportunity, responsibility and identity.We also get into the realities of building AfroFuture, the importance of partnerships, taking ideas from concept to execution, returning to Ghana, and what it really takes to build something that can outlive you.This is a conversation about legacy—but also independence.About inheritance—but also identity.About having access—and still having something to prove.Watch the full episode and hear Ken Agyapong Jr.'s story of building, learning and becoming his own man.The Peswa Podcast — conversations with the people building businesses, careers and legacies across Africa.#ThePeswaPodcast #KenAgyapongJr #AfroFuture #Entrepreneurship #Ghana #Business #Legacy #AfricanEntrepreneurs

In this deeply personal episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Hayet Rida, founder of KHOI, to talk about creativity, entrepreneurship, failure, reinvention, love, loss and the difficult process of learning how to keep going.
Hayet's journey to building KHOI was anything but conventional.
A creative strategist and longtime content creator, she turned years of experience in advertising, branding and community-building into a sculptural accessories brand that has grown from an unexpected opportunity into an internationally recognised creative business.
KHOI began in 2022, after a failed jewelry collaboration left Hayet with thousands of dollars worth of packaging. Instead of seeing the setback as the end, she turned it into the beginning of something of her own.In this conversation, Hayet opens up about grief, love and what it means to continue living and building when life doesn't go according to plan.She speaks honestly about the emotional reality of loss, the pressure to keep functioning, the role of work and creativity in processing difficult seasons, and what she has learned about resilience, vulnerability and moving forward.This isn't just a conversation about building a jewelry brand.It's a conversation about building a life — losing part of it — and finding the courage to keep creating.
This is one of our most vulnerable conversations yet.Watch, listen and share your thoughts with us.
