In this season finale, we have the amazing Yaw Okyere, founder of Ava Estell, a multimillion-pound skincare business developed to help people of colour treat their skin issues and feel their best again. Inspired by his wife, Esther, it has gone from strength to strength, backed by Yaw’s 8-year foundation of trial and error in entrepreneurship. Every level has brought a new blessing as well as a new challenge and Yaw, his team and family have risen up to it each time. During our debates segment, #ChitChatWithMo, we explored entrepreneurship vs a traditional 9-5. On #DeeperWithMo, we talk about Yaw’s successes, and failures, balancing family life, his inspirations, defining moments, and more. Enjoy!
