Actress Nana Ama Mcbrown has recounted her experience of being deported from the United States and her subsequent rise to fame.

During an episode of the program aired on GHOne and hosted by Bola Ray, the former United Showbiz host shared the emotional impact her deportation had on her mental well-being.

Upon returning to Ghana with no resources, she seized the opportunity to pursue acting, inspired by the late actor Kwame Owusu Ansah, who during a radio interview, left contact information for Miracle Films for individuals interested in acting.

“I was deported and frustrated, crying every day. But one day, I tuned into Fox FM and heard an interview with Kwame Owusu Ansah, who left behind contact information for Miracle Films. I went there, and God opened doors for me,” Nana Ama McBrown sshe told Bola Ray on Starr Chat.

“I registered, but I didn’t have money. I promised to bring the money later, and they allowed me to register.”

Nana Ama McBrown said auditioned at the Cultural Center but was surprised to find that the roles had already been assigned. “They were trying to figure out who to give the roles to. I sat and watched, thinking I would read the script, but they were auditioning themselves.”

She expressed her determination to persevere in the face of apparent disappointment and seized the opportunity to take on a new role as a costumier when it arose.

“The president of Miracle Films said they wanted to create a crew from Kumasi, and I stood up, offering to assist with costumes. He told me to come and learn, and that’s how my journey began.

“I didn’t know what costume meant, but I was willing to learn. I told him, Teach me, and I’ll do it. And that’s how I started my career in the film industry.”
