Zuriel Elise Oduwole is a 10 year old girl, but not just your regular 10-year-old.
The extraordinary Nigerian-American child has put her name down in
the history and record books as the youngest person ever to be
interviewed in Forbes.
The interview with the award winning documentary film maker,
conference speaker and writer is featured in the August 2013 edition of
Forbes Africa.
At the tender age 0f 10, Zuriel possesses an amazing talent that has
elevated her to great heights. The 10 year old has sat face to face with
renowned world leaders in interviews and one on one chat sessions.
She has sat with the current Presidents of Tanzania, Mauritius, and
Malawi–one of Africa’s only two female national leaders. Others include
ex-presidents Jerry John Rawlings and John Kufuor of Ghana. Zuriel has
also had a one-on-one interview with Africa’s most successful
businessman, Mr. Aliko Dangote. She even got a standing ovation for her
sets of provoking and creatively intelligent questions to tennis
superstars, Venus & Serena Williams, during their world press
conference in Nigeria.
Zuriel says she has not been granted an interview by the President of
Nigeria because of his busy schedules but hopes to achieve that soon.
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.
