We’re looking forward to introducing you to Georgina Asamoah Boakye . Check out our conversation below.
Georgina Asamoah, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. Would YOU hire you? Why or why not?
Definitely! I’d hire me because I’m creative, disciplined, and get things done. I’ve built two successful brands from scratch, one focused on skincare manufacturing and another on packaging and formulation supplies so, I know how to take an idea and make it real.
I’m also big on people and growth, I love mentoring, teaching, and collaborating with others. I’d hire me because I don’t just work hard; I work with purpose, and I always aim to create value in everything I do.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Georgina Asamoah Boakye.
I’m the founder of Purple Leaf Soap House, Ghana’s number one handmade soap and skincare brand, where we handcraft natural products that celebrate African ingredients and empower local women through skill-based training.
I started this journey with a purpose, driven by curiosity, creativity, and a desire to create something beautiful and meaningful. What began as small batches of handmade soaps has grown into a thriving business that now offers private-label manufacturing, formulation training, and eco-friendly beauty solutions for individuals and brands across Africa and beyond.
What makes my brand special is its heart, we don’t just make products; we tell stories, build confidence, and inspire people to create.
Right now, I’m focused on expanding globally, developing educational workshops, and mentoring young women who want to turn their passion into purpose.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who taught you the most about work?
My dad taught me the most about work. Growing up, I watched him handle every task with quiet dedication and pride, no matter how demanding it was. From him, I learned that there’s dignity in hard work, that showing up and giving your best matters but, I also learned the importance of rest and balance. He showed me that success isn’t just about pushing through; it’s also about knowing when to pause, take care of yourself, and come back stronger.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I’d tell my younger self that she was right to dream about everything she wanted that, she was created for something extraordinary. Even when life looked uncertain, she held on to her light, and I’m proud of how far she’s come. I’d tell her that I’ve protected her dreams, stayed true to her purpose, and turned every challenge into strength. I’d thank her for the childhood we had, it shaped my resilience, compassion, and believes.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
They’d say purpose matters most to me. I don’t just want to exist,I want to create, impact, and build something that outlives me. My friends know I care deeply about people, growth, and excellence, whether it’s in my work, my relationships, or how I show up in the world.
They’d also say I’m big on self-care and protecting my peace, I pour into others, but I make sure my own cup stays full. And they know one thing about me: if I don’t feel aligned with something, nothing can convince me to do it. I stand firm on my values, and that’s what keeps me grounded
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people say I lived with purpose and heart, that I built something meaningful and helped others believe in themselves. That I celebrated African beauty, created opportunities for women, and poured love into everything I did. I want my story to remind others that you can start small, stay true, and still create something extraordinary.
I also hope they tell people to be kind to my cats (hahaha) be kind all pets in general.
