Never Forget Your Roots : Actor, Boris Kodjoe Shares Family Photo With A Powerful Message.

The Ghanaian-American actor shared an old family picture of some of his family members with a wonderful message.Read the message below.


Heritage Wednesday 
Accra Ghana circa 1950.
My grandparents, Chief of Police Joseph Cecil Ofuatey-Kodjoe and Elsie Ofuatey-Kodjoe, and behind them standing from left to right, my father Eric, Kiddie, and Freddie. Why my aunt Esther wasn't in the picture I do not know. This shot was taking a few years before Kwame Nkrouma led Ghana (formally Gold Coast) to Independence from Britain.
Side note; my grandmother didn't look into the lense because she didn't know where it was. She had gone blind from cataract left untreated. I never noticed she was blind because she would always comment on my clothes and what I was doing. Little did I know that while I was sitting on her lap her housekeeper was feeding her intel in her native dialect. By the way, she founded the girl scouts in Ghana. 



Stay true to your roots!
