Zuriel Oduwole, a ten-year-old Nigerian girl Zuriel Oduwole has made history as the youngest person ever to be interviewed in Forbes, the global iconic magazine title.
The interview with the award-winning documentary film maker, conference speaker and writer is featured in the August 2013 edition of Forbes Africa.
Touted as the next Larry King and Oprah Winfrey, Oduwole is reportedly committed to showcasing the positive things about Africa, and making a case for Girl Child education on the continent.
As an award winning documentary film maker and writer Zuriel has, in her quest of pursuing her goal, interviewed leading African personalities, including eight current African Presidents, Africa’s richest person, Aliko Dangote and Tennis super stars – Venus and Serena Williams.
Zuriel believes if she can walk a mile, then there are girls who on seeing her work and progress made, would walk a mile and a 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.
