Nupol Kiazolu

At 20 years old, Nupol Kiazolu has shut down highways and pageant stages, becoming a leader in what is now one of the largest civil rights movements in history. Kiazolu is the president of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, Miss Liberia USA, and is the founder and CEO of the national voting campaign, Vote 2000. In 2018, Hawk Newsome, the former President of Black Lives Matter Greater New York, told Teen Vogue that the then 18-year-old was like, “a young Sojourner Truth or Harriet Tubman.” “When she speaks, she’s not afraid to make people uncomfortable, and she’s impassioned,” Newsome continued. “She adds something to her arguments that really makes her appeal to her generation.”
