Kwesi Ashatey during an interaction with GhanaWeb TV's Abigail Johnson Boakye
This week on Everyday People, we bring you the story of Kwesi Ashatey who peddles men's T-shirts around Madina, a suburb of the Greater Accra Region.
Kwesi, during an interaction with GhanaWeb TV's Abigail Johnson Boakye, disclosed that he was once a bus conductor but quit due to verbal abuse from numerous passengers.
He explained that his mental health couldn't cope with the stress of having to deal with a barrage of insults when he was probably working on an empty stomach.
Kwesi Ashatey further added that he has been selling the T-shirts for 3 years and even though his success has stalled, he was able to provide a motorcycle for a sibling to make ends meet with it.
He also shared how he resorts to eating gari on days sales are low.
However, he is happy that he can afford a roof over his head and doesn't have to sleep outside after a hectic day of work.
