Hollywood stars Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good are officially engaged after a year and a half of dating. The couple shared the exciting news on Sunday, November 17, during their appearance at the EBONY Power 100 Gala at NYA Studios West in Los Angeles. The event held special significance for the duo, as it marked the place where their love story began two years ago. While showing off her sparkling engagement ring, Good described the engagement as part of a “season of all the good things,” with Majors adding that it was indeed “a season of joy.”
The couple’s romance has been a topic of interest since May 2023, when they were first spotted together at a Los Angeles movie theater.

Jay-Z’s Shawn Carter Foundation (SCF), in collaboration with the Wharton School’s Coalition for Equity and Opportunity, has launched an innovative financial literacy program aimed at empowering students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

CFFL will debut in spring 2025 at Lincoln University, Norfolk State University, and Virginia State University, with plans to expand to more HBCUs.
