The actress explained that in the early days of her career, she commuted from Obuasi, where she was teaching, to Kumasi for movie shoots. McBrown agreed to host her whenever she came to Kumasi to make things easier.

She eventually quit teaching to pursue acting full-time, moving from Obuasi to Kumasi. Through all of that, McBrown remained supportive.

Brobbey stated that quitting teaching did not go down well with her father. To appease him, she enrolled at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) to pursue a degree.

Here, too, McBrown's support became particularly meaningful. Brobbey fondly recalled:

"During my graduation, Nana Ama McBrown sewed a beautiful dress for me. She came with my fellow actors to support me at my graduation ceremony. I will never forget what she did for me."

McBrown pleads with US Embassy over ban

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that McBrown had appealed to the US Embassy to lift a travel ban placed on her over two decades ago.

The Onua Showtime host, who was deported from US in 2001, has been unable to visit the country since.

In a recent interview with Bola Ray, McBrown pleaded with the embassy to reconsider the ban since she has had a good record since then.
