Of the 34 men and women on the Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Media list, one Nigerian shines bright.

Nigerian-American Uzoamaka Maduka, a co-founder of The American Reader, a monthly journal of literature and criticism, ranks high on the list.

Here’s what Forbes had to say about Uzoamaka;

Maduka is a mix of modern and throwback: A child of Nigerian immigrants and Princeton graduate, she decided to start a literary magazine, in print, at a time when most of her classmates were dreaming of launching hit apps. There’s a daily website, too, and a partnership with Salon.com helps with digital distribution.
