Meagan Posts About Citizenship Journey
On Sunday, Meagan Good shared photos from her and hubby, Jonathan Majors, accepting their roles as recent ambassadors for Guinea. She said, in her Instagram caption, that this weekend was “a historic moment” for them. Along with becoming Guineans, they were appointed as Global Cultural Ambassadors of Branding Guinea.
“This recognition goes beyond titles; it’s a homecoming and a reconnection to our Afrodescendant roots,” Meagan Good wrote in her recap post. “This moment reflects Guinea’s daring spirit, rooted in sovereignty, culture, and truth. Often known as the rebels of Africa, Guinea has at all times chosen dignity, identity, and freedom. That very same spirit lives across the diaspora, and this connection is intentional and ancestral. As Global Cultural Ambassadors, our mission is to construct bridges, amplify Guinean culture, and unite our global family. We already look ahead to our next trips in Guinea.”
Her caption also thanked the federal government of Guinea, the country’s president, and other officials. She also wrote, “That is history in motion. We look ahead to constructing a united future together.”
Meagan Good And Jonathan Majors Welcomed With Love In Guinea
Guinea has been ruled by junta leader Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya since a 2021 coup. Last month, he was declared the winner of the presidential election after clamping down on opposition and dissents, leaving him with no major opponents. Following the celebs’ recent citizenship ceremony, the top of the president’s cabinet spoke out.
“We predict that you just are among the many worthy little kids of this Guinea. You represent our country, the red-yellow-green flag all around the world,” said Djiba Diakité.
Guinea isn’t the primary country to award citizenship to descendents of enslaved people. Last yr, Ciara became certainly one of the primary public figures to develop into a citizen of Benin. Also, Ghana last yr naturalized 524 African Americans. That happened after President Nana Akufo-Addo invited them to “come home” in 2019, as a part of the four-hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the primary enslaved Africans in North America in 1619.
What To Know About The Couple
