Nollywood award winning actress, Genevieve Nnaji has been featured alongside 7 leading women across the world on Elle,com's "Internatunal Superstars: The Next Big Crossover Acts". Other women on the list include former Miss World turned Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kim Hyuna from Gangnam Style video, English singer and songwriter Pixie Lott, Mexican actress Anahí, Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe and Bollywood star Katrina Kaif .

Here’s what ELLE said about 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.
