Ghanaian-American actor, Michael Blankson’s mother was present at her son’s school commissioning in Agona Nsaba.
Netizens reacted to the pictures and shared comments about the striking resemblance between the Ghanaian-American actor and his mother who was captured seated in the front row.
She wore long white apparel, paired with a scarf around her neck, and another tied around her head while holding a staff in her hand.
Michael Blackson’s mother, who hails from Liberia is said to have settled in Ghana since she met her husband, Blackson’s father.
According to reports, the Hollywood actor was born on November 28, 1972, in Nsaba, to his Ghanaian father, Kwaku-Nsian Adom Bediako, and his Liberian mother whose name has not been identified yet.
After announcing the completion of a school he built in his hometown, Agona Nsaba in the Central region in November last year, the comedian on January 3, 2023, commissioned the edifice.
“Today is the greatest day of my life because I’ve finally accomplished what I always wanted to do in my life which is giving these children a chance to be great. Greatness starts with education and foundational education shouldn’t come with financial barriers”.
