Meet Mansa

A beauty therapist who became a 4x founder.

Maame Mansa Richardson is an Accra-based entrepreneur and the founder of Cafe de Boba Ghana, Freezzee, Bareskinn Spa and Bareskinn.

She started out as a makeup artist, shared her life online, turned her beauty training into a skincare brand and spa, and kept building. Today she leads teams across four brands and seven locations, and helps others build and scale real businesses in Ghana.

What I believe

The work is the lesson.

  1. 01

    Treat customers like neighbours

    Thank them, listen to them, and keep showing up for them.

  2. 02

    Build the team, one training at a time

    Seven locations only work when every person on the floor knows the standard.

  3. 03

    Be honest about what works

    Share the wins and the hard parts. That is how the next founder learns faster.

“I build & scale businesses. I show you how to build real businesses in Ghana.”
