Akyere Bruwaa: A Celebrated Kumawood Icon with a Heartwarming Tribute to Her Mother

Veteran Ghanaian actress film producer and television host Akyere Bruwaa known in private life as Miriam Akyere Donkoh continues to inspire fans with both her craft and her deep sense of family. Recently the beloved Kumawood star took to social media to share a rare and heartwarming photo of her mother, Madam Lydia Aba Esanuwa Donkoh, in celebration of her special day.

Born on January 1, 1972, in Madina Accra, Akyere hails from Gomoa Dago in the Central Region of Ghana. She is the first child of her parents and comes from a family of seven siblings, including four brothers and one sister. Her childhood was shaped by both joy and tragedy, as she sadly lost her father, Mr. Donkoh, at the young age of 13.

Akyere’s personal life reflects her resilience and strength. She became a mother at the age of 17 after completing Form 4, and later married her son’s father. The union blessed her with a second son. However, after eight years of marriage, the couple divorced. Despite the challenges, Akyere has remained a devoted mother, raising her two sons while continuing to build a successful career in Ghana’s entertainment industry.

Her journey into acting began early, with performances in Sunday School plays at the Church of Pentecost. But her professional acting career took off in 1995, after she connected with Ama Pat, a member of a concert party group based at the Art Centre in Accra. Since then, Akyere Bruwaa has become a household name in the Kumawood movie industry, known for her compelling roles, humor, and authenticity.

Now in her 50s, Akyere remains a respected figure in Ghanaian cinema. Her recent tribute to her mother was a touching reminder of the strong family values she upholds. Fans on social media praised her gesture, with many noting the striking resemblance between mother and daughter, as well as the love and pride that radiated from her post.

Akyere Bruwaa’s story is one of talent, perseverance, and grace — both on and off the screen. As she continues to grace our screens with her presence, her fans remain grateful for her contributions to Ghanaian cinema and her unwavering spirit in the face of life’s challenges.
