The
10 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.
Oduwole is committed to Rebrand 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.
