Entrepreneur and media personality, Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, has opened up about one of the most challenging periods of her life.
In a video which has surfaces online, Delay recalled a time when she was so financially strained while living in Tema that even finding food was difficult.
According to her, she was often so broke that she would go the entire day without eating, waiting for a friend to return from work with some money.
“The friend would then go and buy ‘check check’ (fried rice), which we shared,” she explained.
The ‘Delay Show’ host has always openly shared her journey from rags to riches. She emphasised the transformative nature of her story, stating, “My story is a typical grass-to-grace, from poverty to financial independence and success. It’s just from zero to hero, from a nobody to somebody.”
Delay revealed that in the early stages of her independent life, she faced significant financial struggles and often relied on the support of friends.
She has earlier shared some thought-provoking life advice on her social media platform, urging individuals to prioritise themselves over others.
Her message was a call for people to be mindful of their self-worth and avoid continually sacrificing their needs for others who may not reciprocate that same energy.
She urged her fans to recognise when their kindness and support are being taken for granted.
