Media entrepreneur, journalist, storyteller and host of #WithChude, Chude Jideonwo, is set to interview Hollywood star Meagan Good at the 2026 Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), bringing his signature approach to intimate, thought-provoking conversations to one of Africa’s leading film gatherings. The interview will take place during a special fireside chat titled “The Art of Becoming: Craft, Identity, and Reinvention,” scheduled for Session 5 from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. The conversation will explore the experiences, choices and personal transformations that shape an actor’s career and influence their place in global cinema.
With a career spanning decades across film and television, Good has established herself as a recognisable figure in Hollywood, taking on roles that reflect her evolution as an actor and creative professional. Through the conversation, Jideonwo will explore how actors navigate the complexities of their craft, identity and personal growth, examining the defining roles, bold decisions and moments of reinvention that shape their journeys. The discussion will also consider how actors evolve beyond the characters they portray, make intentional choices about their careers and contribute to the changing landscape of global cinema.
The conversation reflects the approach that has distinguished #WithChude, which explores the human stories behind public success through candid interviews with influential voices across entertainment, culture, leadership and society. As the creator and interviewer behind one of Africa’s most watched talk shows, Jideonwo has built a platform around conversations that move beyond headlines to examine the experiences, convictions and turning points that shape people’s lives. His interview with Good at AFRIFF will extend this approach to an international film audience, creating space for an engaging exchange on creative ambition, identity, resilience and the continual process of becoming.
