After a year, she left her job to join her husband at Kantamanto, where they slept in a container belonging to a benefactor.
"I served as a housegirl for a woman named Aunty Pearl in Tema Community 3 SNNIT Flats. My job was to wash and cook for her, and I held this job for about a year. After a year, I decided that as my child was growing up, I needed to be on my own."
"At the time, my husband was also working as a porter at Kantamanto. So I left my househelp job and joined my husband at Kantamanto, we were sleeping in a container because we had no home to stay in," Agradaa said."
The founder and leader of the Heaven Way Church in Weija further spoke about how she ventured into selling second-hand clothes to support her family.
The endeavour was successful, setting her on the path to become the wealthy and popular priestess Ghanaians were introduced to many years later.
Agradaa later divorced her husband, Pastor Koranteng, and is currently married to another pastor, Angel Asiamah.

Nana Agradaa escalates feud with Empress Gifty
YEN.com.gh previously reported that Nana Agradaa's feud with Empress Gifty reached another level after she mocked the singer for not being able to stand up after squatting.
During a church service, Agradaa squatted while dancing and lifted herself up, a clear dig at Empress Gifty's failure to do the same during a recent episode of United Showbiz.
Gifty sued Agradaa for GH¢20 million over alleged defamation after the preacher accused her of being unfaithful to her husband, alongside other inflammatory accusations.
