Meet 12 year old Daniyelle Bennett of Glenco, Trinidad and Tobago, an actress, a singer, a triathlon winner and a competitive karate winner.But more than just focusing on herself, Daniyelle has been leading the fight against obesity.
After learning that Trinidad and Tobago had the third highest obesity rate in the world Daniyelle went a step further and in 2013 launched her own campaign “Ride to promote wellness.”
