Actors Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors have officially become citizens of Guinea after tracing their ancestry through DNA testing. The couple, known for their roles in popular films such as "Creed" and "Ant-Man," received their citizenship during a ceremony at the Gbassi Kolo cultural center, where they were presented with their passports by government officials, including Djiba Diakité. Majors expressed that this new citizenship would help them connect their personal stories with the broader African diaspora. Good and Majors view their connection to Guinea as significant and plan to explore the country and its rich heritage sites. This citizenship move aligns with a growing trend among celebrities reclaiming their African roots, a movement that gained momentum following Ghana's "Year of Return" initiative in 2019. Despite facing political challenges in recent years, Guinea continues to welcome members of the African diaspora, encouraging them to reconnect with their ancestral heritage.
