Biography
EARLY LIFE
Nana Ama McBrown, born Felicity Ama Agyemang, was born in Kumasi, Ghana, on 15 August 1977. Her biological parents were Cecilia Agyenim Boateng and Kwabena Nkrumah, who divorced when McBrown was young. With her father gone and her mother unable to care for her and her six siblings, she and her siblings were adopted by Kofi McBrown and her aunt, Madam Betty Obiri Yeboah, whom she considers her 'real mother'. McBrown grew up in Kwadaso-Kumasi. She attended St. Peter's International Residential School, Minnesota International, and Central International. She later went to Kwadaso L.A. J.S.S but dropped out before the Basic Education Certificate Exams. She then attended the College of Business, where she obtained a secretarial certificate.
CAREER
McBrown's acting career began in 2001 after responding to an audition call by Miracle Films. Initially hired for costuming, she was given the lead role in the movie 'That Day' by director Samuel Nyamekye. Her performance in 'That Day' helped her secure a spot on the TV series 'Tentacles'. In 2007, she starred in the movie 'Asoreba' alongside Agya Koo and Mercy Asiedu, which solidified her status in Ghanaian cinema. She also played roles in 'Madam Joan', 'Kai Debi', 'Kumasi Yonko', and 'Abro Ne Bayie'. McBrown was the host of the television cooking show 'The McBrown Kitchen' and the entertainment talk show 'United Showbiz' on UTV until March 2023, when she moved to Media General to host the 'Onua Showtime' program on Onua TV. She has numerous ambassadorial deals, including Royal Drinks (Kasapreko Company Limited), So Klin washing powder, COVID-19 National Trust Fund, McBerry Biscuits, Hisense Ghana, Amanela Children Haven, Ghandour Cosmetics, KIVO GARI, Deedew Spices Ghana, Sintex Water Tank, Loncha, and Tasty Tom. She is also the brand ambassador for Softcare, an African brand for baby and feminine products.
PERSONAL LIFE
Nana Ama McBrown was linked to her co-star Omar Sheriff Captan, though both denied any romantic attachments. In 2004, she briefly dated Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame. On 15 July 2007, McBrown was enthroned as the 'Nkosuohemaa' (ceremonial queen-mother of development) of Assin-Basiako near Assin-Fosu in the Assin North District of the Central Region, Ghana. In 2016, she married her longtime boyfriend Maxwell Mawu Mensah. In February 2019, McBrown gave birth to a daughter, Maxin, in Canada.
