She is a goddess on the big screen no doubt, she's won accolades for herself and has been mentioned on the Oprah Winfrey Show. What more could one ask for........Our very own Genevieve Nnaji has been featured on Elle Magazine and has been tagged one of Elle's Magazine's 'INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTARS: THE NEXT BIG CROSSOVER ACTS'. She isn't the only superstar that has been honoured with such title....others include: Aishawarya Rai Bachchan (India) Katrina Kaif (Hong Kong)Haifa Wehbe (Lebanon)Anahi (Mexico)Pixie Lott(Britain) and Kim Hyuna(Japan). 

This was what they wrote about her:

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." 

The list also features former Miss World and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai, English singer Pixie Lott and Mexican pop star Anahi.
