U.S. film actors Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are set to become citizens of Guinea. This follows official DNA tests that confirmed their ancestral links to the West African nation.
The move is part of a growing trend. They join several other American celebrities who are reconnecting with their African heritage through modern genealogy. For these stars, gaining citizenship is a formal step to cement that personal connection.
The government of Guinea has a specific process for this. It grants citizenship to members of the African diaspora who can provide genetic proof of Guinean ancestry. Officials have not yet announced when the ceremony will take place.
