AWARD-WINNING journalist and former CNN International Anchor, Isha Sesay, will feature this week on the Globacom sponsored television magazine programme African Voices Changemakers, where she will share her career journey, advocacy work and experience of motherhood.

Born in Sierra Leone and raised in the United Kingdom (UK), Sesay worked with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Sky News and later CNN International, which she joined in 2005, adding that the programme highlights her reporting and presentation career across the global broadcaster.
A graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, she became host of CNN’s flagship global affairs programme International Desk in 2009.

Sesay later presented the 360 Bulletin segment on Anderson Cooper 360 before becoming an anchor on CNN NewsCenter.
Beyond journalism, the programme features her work as founder of Women Everywhere Can Lead, a non-profit organisation established in 2014 to expand educational opportunities for girls across Africa and equip them with leadership skills.
Viewers will also hear Sesay discuss fertility and motherhood after welcoming her first child through In-Vitro Fertilisation as a single parent.
African Voices Changemakers says it will premiere on Saturday at 7.30am with a repeat broadcast at 11.00am.
