The phrase "afterward being" is not standard in written English and may be considered awkward or incorrect.
It could be used in contexts where you want to describe an action that occurs after a certain event, but it is better to rephrase for clarity.
Example: "Afterward being informed of the changes, she adjusted her plans accordingly."
Alternatives: "subsequently being" or "after being".
