"I was deported from the United States in 2001, but my breakthrough came right after." - Nana Ama McBrown reveals

Nana Ama McBrown, a Ghanaian actress and television personality, has revealed for the first time that she was deported from the United States of America in 2001.

Nana Ama McBrown was announced earlier today as the new host of Onua TV’s “Maakye” morning show, officially transitioning from UTV to Media General.

Speaking with Captain Smart after her welcome ceremony, the mother of one revealed that she was deported back to her home country in 2001, shortly after arriving in the United States.

“Captain, January is a month I don’t like at all because things really don’t go as expected for me. I’ve never said this anywhere before but today I’ll say it to inspire somebody. My uncle returned from the US and met me as a footballer who had returned from playing at Kwadaso (a suburb of Kumasi). I went to play table tennis after that so when my uncle saw me, he promised to take me abroad. Truthfully I was in America in January but to put it short, I was deported,” she disclosed.

Although she did not specify the reason for her deportation, Nana Ama McBrown stated that her family frowned upon her return, labelling her as the “bad luck” child in the family.

The award-winning actress revealed that her deportation did not prevent her from becoming a big star. She also encouraged anyone planning a trip to not give up if things don’t go as planned because it isn’t the end of their lives.

“So I want to tell whoever is listening to me that of your dream is to travel and things are not going as expected, that is not the end of your life. God has a plan for you because I didn’t know I would become who I am today if it wasn’t for the deportation,” she encouraged.
