Zuriel
Elise Oduwole, an amazing 10-year-old of Nigerian-American heritage, has made
history 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
just 10, whiz kid Zuriel possesses amazing talent that has resulted in her
interviewing business leaders, current and past world leaders and heads of
states.
They
include the current Presidents of Tanzania, Mauritius, and Malawi–one of
Africa’s only two female national leaders. Others are 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.
