In an exclusive BBC interview, Forson discussed how these tariffs impact her business. She noted that she has many customers in the United States. “We were trying to expand more on exports to the US,” she said.

Forson expressed nervousness about the situation during her interview with BBC's OS radio program. She later shared her thoughts on Instagram, stating it was an honor to be featured by BBC OS.

“This moment is bigger than just us,” she wrote. It highlights the resilience of African entrepreneurs and their commitment to customers worldwide. Despite challenges from tariffs, she emphasized innovation and exploring new opportunities.

Forson reassured her customers of their loyalty: “You are the reason we’ve grown from a family recipe.” She believes this journey belongs to both her team and their supporters.

Social media users reacted positively to Forson's interview on BBC. Comments included praise for her efforts and encouragement for innovation in challenging times.
