She was born in Kumasi to Cecilia Agyenim Boateng and Kwabena Nkrumah, who divorced when she was a child. Kofi McBrown and her aunt, Madam Betty Obiri Yeboah, adopted her and her siblings as a result of the death of her father and her mother’s inability to care for her and her six siblings.

Career
