Meagan Good

Good was born in Panorama City, California of Puerto Rican, French, East Indian and African American descent. She grew up in Valencia, California, where she lived with her parents and her three siblings, one of whom was adopted. Good resided in a part of California that was mainly Caucasian; The Goods were one of the first non-white families to enter the area, Meagan Good explained in a Sister2Sister magazine interview. As a young girl, she recalls being treated differently while at school especially at the hands of a teacher she considered to be racist. She had a particularly hard time with fitting in, because a hairstyle she wanted to try was not allowed and neither was the use of lip gloss. She even blames this teacher for suffering grades that same year. Good did not, however, pick up on these subtleties until she became older.Meagan Good does not describe her mother as religious, but rather describes her as a spiritual person who inspired her to become spiritual as well. Good did not attend church as a young girl, but God is a very important to her in life. God means so much to her that even "all of the success..[and] the money in the world..."[1] is inconsequential if it were not for God.Because of her role as a child actress, she was home-schooled after a period of time in public school.
