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 of 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.
