The couple's journey back to their ancestral roots culminates in a citizenship ceremony in Guinea, symbolizing the reconnection of African descendants to their heritage.

Hollywood stars Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are set to be granted citizenship in Guinea after tracing their lineage to the country through DNA tests. The couple expressed excitement about their visit as they were welcomed at the airport with traditional ceremonies. The citizenship event aims to encourage people of African descent to reconnect with their heritage. Good, known for 'Think Like a Man,' and Majors, famous for 'Creed,' shared their joy about exploring Guinea and interacting with its people. Their stay includes a tour of historic sites related to the slave trade.

Husband and wife movie stars Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors have traveled to Guinea, where the US couple are due to be granted citizenship after tracing their ancestry to the West African nation through DNA testing.

We are just happy to be here, said Good, best known for the film Think Like a Man, and who went on to explain that it was her first visit to Guinea.

Majors, a star of Creed and Ant-Man, added: I am excited to meet the people and go around the town with my wife.

Their citizenship ceremony has been organized by the ministry of culture - and is similar to other initiatives in the region to encourage people of African descent to reclaim their heritage and invest in the continent.

The event - a private cultural ceremony - is to take place at a new tourist garden on the outskirts of the capital, Conakry later on Friday.

Good, 44, and Majors, 36, began dating in May 2023 and tied the knot last year. The actors landed at Conakry's Gbessia International Airport in the early hours of Friday morning and were welcomed with great fanfare by officials and musicians.

During their stay in Guinea, the pair are scheduled to tour Boké, a coastal region with historic slave trade sites. It is not clear if they plan to invest in or move to Guinea.

In recent years, several celebrities have taken up citizenships of countries in Africa. It largely began in 2019 when Ghana launched The Year of Return, inviting those with African heritage to come home and invest.

Guinea itself has a long history of welcoming activists and people from the African diaspora. Although the country has experienced political turmoil in recent years, it recently returned to civilian rule following elections.
