Heels to henhouse - Nekeisha Graham’s egg farming business is cracking success

#JamaicaGleaner
JULY 14, 2024: After signing off from her 9-to-5 job on week days, Nekeisha Graham, sometimes dressed in her stilettos, heads to her chicken coop in St Andrew to check on her birds and ensure that her budding egg farming business continues to thrive.
Graham, owner of Niki’s Yolk, admits that when the concept of earning a living from agriculture was introduced to her as a child, she scoffed at the idea. However, after becoming an adult, and being confronted with life’s responsibilities, agriculture, for the St Ann native, has become the proverbial stone that the builder refused.

Woke up to this video this morning. Congrats lady , forget about UWI, waste of time and money .
Jamaica needs to teach people to be wealth creator, not wage earners !

I love stories like these coming out of Jamaica. She made a smart (though risky) decision investing her tuition money into a business. I wish her much success and growth. Maybe in 5 years, her 9 to 5 will be managing a multi-million egg farm.
