By the time we were done, the news was on at 7:00 pm so we ended up watching the news in the office as were winding up. I remember telling my supervisor that one day I am going to work over there (pointing to the TV). He laughed at me and said it was impossible for me to go from banking to the media. "Komla Dumor meant a lot of things to me as a journalist and as an individual, If I can only achieve just 10 or 20% of what he did, I feel like I would have made my contribution to journalism. As an African, I feel proud to have the opportunity to be able to tell the African story to audiences across the world. I was passionate about the issues I was putting across and that is what made me win awards like the Komla Dubar awards. For seven years I did sports news then I started venturing into politics and now I host Africa Uncensored. ] External links Category:1984 births Category:Living people Category:Journalists from Kenya Category:Television presenters
