ABOUT ADWOA DUNCAN - WILLIAMS

Adwoa Duncan-Williams is a British born, Ghanaian descendant actor based in Brooklyn, NY. The youngest of 8 children, her name in fact derives from the Ashanti tribe in Ghana, in which her parents were originally born, meaning ‘Born on Monday’. With the Ghanaian culture running deep in her blood, she’s always incorporated her roots into her craft, wanting to also represent this part of her.

At a young age, Adwoa always loved performing. Whether it was in school dances or plays, she wanted to be on the stage. It wasn’t until secondary school where she officially started studying the craft of acting, taking Drama as one of her subjects. Here she found an even deeper love for acting. Overtime, she knew that this profession was the only thing she wanted to succeed in and that’s when she packed up everything, said goodbye to London and moved to the exciting state of New York City.

She began studying the craft full time in the city, earning a degree during the pandemic. Since then, she’s booked multiple roles in commercials and just recently two leading roles in a feature film and short film. Extremely busy and booked, she knows now is the time to work with a team and sought representation for herself.
