       Popular Cable News Network reporter, Isha Sesay, has announced
       her exit from the organisation after spending 13 years.
       Sesay broke the news on her Twitter handle, @IamIshaSesay on
       Wednesday, “it’s really happening, folks!! After more than a
       decade behind the desk with those three red letters… I HAVE LEFT
       CNN.”
       Speaking on the reason for her exit in an interview with
       Whatweseeee, Sesay said, “It’s an exciting time for me — and a
       nerve-wracking one,” she says. “I’m writing a book about the
       Chibok girls, it’s being released in May 2019. It really speaks
       to where my head is at, currently — a lot more coverage about
       Africa, a lot more work on the continent, and a lot more focus
       on young girls. That’s what I’m about right now.”
       She also revealed her frustration with Western media, which is
       focused on US President Trump, “it’s all so Trump-focused,” she
       explains. “He sucked all of the oxygen out of the room. The
       media is following that lead to the exclusion of almost
       everything else, in a meaningful way. For me, personally, it’s
       not what I want to spend all my time doing.”
       “After a while, I want to do more coverage of the Ebola
       outbreak, of the elections in Liberia, or any number of things
       that are happening. I’m ready to take control of what I’m
       talking about,” Sesay added.
       Lots of her followers have been reacting to the news of her
       exit, with many wishing her well in her future endeavours.
       Sesay is a British born journalist of Sierra Leonean descent.
