One of the attractions at the state funeral for former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings on Friday, November 28, 2025, was the appearance of her grandchildren.
Led by Leilani Rawlings, the grandchildren delivered a powerful tribute to their family matriarch, getting many mourners and social media users emotional.
In their tribute, they described their grandmother as their hero, whose profound influence and cherished memories would remain forever imprinted on their hearts.
After reading the tribute, Leilani Rawlings' accent and beautiful looks captured the attention of mourners and social media users, with many asking about her.
YEN.com.gh brings a few facts gathered about Nana Konadu's pretty granddaughter.
The beautiful Leilani is the first child of Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the first daughter of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and Jerry John Rawlings.
She was christened Leilani Esinam Kennedy Agyeman-Rawlings. She has two other siblings, whom her mother had with Herbert Mensah.
YEN.com.gh does not know the actual birthday of Leilani. However, news of her birth first surfaced in the media in June 2005, putting her age around 20. At the time, The Crusading Guide newspaper reported that Nana Konadu had danced with Victor Smith upon hearing the news of her birth.
During her reading of the tribute to her late grandmother, Leilani mentioned that she was 20 when she recounted how Nana Konadu used to treat her like a baby.

Not much is known about the man Zanetor Rawlings had her first daughter, except that he was her mate at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).
According to The Crusading Guide report from 20 years, the father of Leilani is known as Dr Kenneth Kennedy, who is Irish and English. The two were reportedly planning to tie the knot around the time Leilani was born.
In 2019, then in Form 4 student, Leilani travelled with three others to represent the school at the 9th Annual International Emerging Leaders Conference (IELC 2019), organised by the Collegiate School in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
According to Zanetor, her mother was well and attended a funeral the previous day, which turned out to be her farewell.
