The One with Elizabeth Bamidele

Exploring the World of a 10-Year Old Aspiring Artist

It’s always refreshing when I have younger minds on the show who are doing big things. Last year, I had the pleasure of hosting the then 13-year-old Aarushi Gupta, who is a podcaster from India. This year, in honor of Children’s Day, I have on the show Elizabeth Bamidele, an equally talented and bright young lady who also doubles as a YouTuber.

Elizabeth is a 10-year-old girl who likes reading and being creative. She’s a Nigerian who lives in the UK with her parents. She is also the founder and creator of her YouTube channel called Sparklight Kids Club. It is a channel with inspirational videos, educational activities, and creative/fun challenges for kids and pre-teens to help build their confidence, develop their creativity and empower them to become better people.

Listening to her speak, I couldn’t help but marvel at her wisdom and high level of intelligence. When I was ten, my friends had all my attention, and my world was transformed with mostly printed media like books and encyclopedias. However, this 10-year old is already leveraging technology and social media to build a brand that positively impacts her community, further attesting to how much the times have changed.
