McCoy was handpicked to be queen by the Paramount Chief of Agona Kwanyako, the chiefs, and the entire Kyidom Traditional Divisional Councils.
“I plan to do all that I can by using my platform to bring positive attention to this region. I will serve humbly,” McCoy said of the honor.
“I’ve had lots of accomplishments in my life, personally and professionally, but I didn’t get to his point alone. It’s taken a great team, of people along the way. To have such an honor bestowed upon me by my own African people is a testament to my hard work and character. It’s like a dream come true before my very eyes.”
McCoy took to Instagram to share photos and footage from the enstoolment. “It’s all good. Crowning of Queen Mother of Ghana w/my family last nite. Simply Beautiful #LifeRocks #BirthdayWeekend,” she wrote as her caption.
This isn’t the first time that LisaRaye McCoy has been considered royalty. The Chicago native is also the former First Lady of Turks and Caicos.
