Benin has appointed American director Spike Lee and his wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, as its ambassadors in the US for African Americans. They are tasked with bringing people of African descent closer to their roots. The duo is expected to raise awareness among people of African origin and support initiatives that promote their ties with Benin. The agreement was reportedly finalised during the couple’s visit to the country’s capital, Cotonou, last week. President Patrice Talon’s government said that the move will help African descendants to reconnect with their historical, cultural, and spiritual roots. Watch our video for more on the story.
