MON, MARCH 13 2017-On the second day of her historic visit to Mexico as an Education Ambassador aimed at easing tensions between the US and Mexico, hundreds of youths and young adults packed themselves inside the prestigious Technological University conference hall, to welcome and hear Zuriel Oduwole speak.
Dressed in jackets, suits and formal attire in presenting themselves as future world leaders, they warmly received her as she crossed from Mexico State into Hidalgo State, and into the capital city of Pachuca.
The city of Pachuca then honored her with a surprise Award and citation, in recognition of her work across the globe in the area of Girls Education, and her simple Skills Transfer initiative, to empower young adults in the art of story telling via documentary film making. Earlier on her first day, she addressed a large student body in Mexico city about leadership, and the role youths of today can play in shaping the future they like to see.
Zuriel sees her film making initiative as an avenue for empowering the next generation to tell their stories, how they want to tell it, no matter where they are from, and irrespective of what their circumstances had been.
