Yani Risnawati.

Yani Risnawati, 51, once felt her life would come to an end when she had a stroke. However, rengginang (fried sticky-rice cookies) helped her regain her spirit to rise from her physical frailty. Unwilling to enjoy her success alone, she invited her peers to promote her business.

At noon on Wednesday (19/5/2021), Yani was busily engaged in video filming for her business profile. The shooting was halted several times after being interrupted by the sound of exhaust pipes of motorcycles passing the street in front of her house on Jl. Kapten Samadikun I, Cirebon city, West Java.
