Nana Amuah-Afenyi VI (born Peggielene Bartels in 1953[4]), known informally as King Peggy,[2] is the reigning chief of the town of Tantum[5] (or Otuam[1][2]), in the Mfantsiman Municipal District, Ghana.
[1] She is notably the village's first female chief; she plans to become a full-time ruler after her retirement from the embassy.
"[7] The residents of Otuam also traditionally address Bartels as "Nana," which is an honorary title given to royalty and also to women with grandchildren.
[7] Since her retirement from the Ghanaian embassy in Washington, D.C., King Peggy has opened a travel agency providing informed tours of Ghana and supporting her many local improvements.
[9]) She and writer Eleanor Herman have co-written King Peggy (ISBN 978-0-385-53432-1), published in 2012 by Doubleday.
