Genevieve has added another notch to her belt as the actress was featured in Elle Magazine’s International Superstars list: The Next Big Crossover Acts list was published online yesterday, Wednesday August 21st.
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.
