Genevieve Nnaji featured on Elle as One of the Next Big International Crossover Stars

 

Its a Yipee! as our very own Genevieve Nnaji is featured on International Women's Magazine Elle as one of the next big international crossover Superstars. With features in some international movie roles and more relevance in the African movie since, Genevieve might just be our next big international export.

Below is the excerpt from the article on Genevieve:

 

One of the most powerful actresses working in Africa, Nnaji began her career at age eight, and has been constantly working in commercials and movies ever since. She’s credited with putting Nollywood, Nigeria’s Hollywood, on the map. In 2005 she was awarded Best Actress at the inaugural African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), and used her fame to launch her clothing line, St. Genevieve, in 2008 with the proceeds from sales supporting orphanages. And she has the Oprah seal of approval—in 2009 Nnaji was profiled on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, with the host referring to her as one of the most popular people around the world and the “Julia Roberts of Africa.” Her latest film, Half of a Yellow Sun, in which she stars alongside British actress Thandie Newton, premieres this year.
