One of the most powerful women in African media shares her story with me today.


This is the woman who broke major Chibok stories, amplifying it to the world via CNN, and has since continued to give life to countless stories—including EndSARS and many more.


But Stephanie Busari tells me her life hasn’t been all rosy.


Yes, she has won every highly coveted journalism award, including an Emmy, but she has also faced immense tribulations.


She lost her mother in 2022 - rushing to London to watch her slowly fade away.


Her brother was trapped in a building collapse in Lagos—a tragedy she was reporting for CNN, not knowing he was trapped within.


She opens up about finding love again ten years after her divorce, why the Chibok story consumed her, and how the resilience of Nigerians continues to inspire her every day. She also shares her hopes that people will connect with the stories of extraordinary women in her book—and why, after 16 years, she decided to leave CNN.


Let me know your thoughts in the comments. ❤
