Description: This kid is really going places! 🤯 Jaden Jefferson is a sixth grader committed to the grind - in his young career as a reporter, he's already spoken to A-list celebrities and prominent politicians. "Journalists hold the powerful accountable," he says. He went viral at age 11 after asking Senator Elizabeth Warren a well-prepared question at a press gathering in the midst of national news media. He was later able to snag a one-on-one interview with Warren while she traveled as a prominent presidential candidate, and she treated him as she would any other journalist. Now he travels everywhere with his camera, his tripod and his passion - and nothing can stop him. He's also hosted interviews with the likes of Brad Pitt and Oprah Winfrey, thanks to the help of Ellen DeGeneres! Now he's continuing to proudly represent Toledo, Ohio and make history.
