A Nigerian girl, 10-year old Zuriel
Oduwole has made history as the youngest person ever to be interviewed
on popular magazine Forbes. The interview with the award winning documentary film maker,
conference speaker and writer is featured in the August 2013 edition of
Forbes Africa.
Touted by some as the next Larry King, and ARISE News as the next
Oprah Winfrey, Oduwole is reportedly committed to re-brand Africa by
showing the positive things in about the continent, and making the case
for education the Girl Child in Africa and Emerging Markets.
As an invited guest to the recent African Union 50th anniversary
celebrations in Ethiopia, she has in her quest of pursuing her goal
interviewed leading African business, political, and sports
personalities, including eight current African Presidents, Africa’s
richest person, Aliko Dangote and Tennis super stars Venus and Serena
Williams.
Zuriel (which is Hebrew for God is my Rock) believes if she can walk a
mile, then there are girls who on seeing her work and progress made,
would walk a mile and half.
That, she believes is one simple way to inspire the African Girl
Child, and show the world the need to educate the continents often
forgotten Girl Child, of which Zuriel is one.
