US-based Ghanaian food vlogger, Sweet Adjeley, has shared how she handles negative comments on social media.
In an interview with Giovani Caleb on 3FM Drive, Sweet Adjeley, whose real name is Naa Adjeley Quaye, revealed that while she used to ignore negative comments, she now responds when they become overwhelming.
She explained, “I try to reach everybody and the comments, some aren’t good, but we learn from them. At times we do get mad because sometimes, the first thing you see when you wake up is a terrible comment, and you just get upset. So before, I would not respond at all, but nowadays if it’s too much, I respond. But you see they are kids, but they think you are a kid too, so they talk to you anyhow. When I see that you are a kid, I would try to educate you.”
Sweet Adjeley also shared that her husband was initially hesitant about her starting a vlog because he values privacy. However, she praised him for being supportive of her journey in the food vlogging world.
“When I wanted to start this, he said no way. I don’t want people to know what I’m eating,” she revealed.
The mother of four, who is also a medical assistant, has been creating her own recipes and spices over the seven years she has been in the food vlogging industry. A graduate of the New York restaurant school, Sweet Adjeley shares her cooking lessons on YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, amassing over one million subscribers on YouTube alone.
