Boris Kodjoe, whose father is of Ghanaian descent, was in May appointed as an Ambassador of Film for Ghana by Catherine Afeku, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture.

He said, “…being that my father was from Ghana and we visited my grandmother, my cousins and my uncles. Every holiday we had, makes me really connected to our country.”

“That’s why I’m so excited to bring 40 of my famous friends, some of the world’s top celebrities to Accra in December so they can meet the people, feel the culture, connect with the energetic heritage, they can relax on the beaches, tour the castles and then share their experience with the millions and millions of follows around the world,” the actor added.

Kodjoe urged interested people and bodies “who understand the importance of showing the world what an amazing tourist and business destination Ghana is” to come on board to make this a reality.

He currently co-stars on BET’s “Real Husbands of Hollywood” and on the CBS medical drama “Code Black.”
