Popular Cable News Network (CNN) reporter Isha Sesay has resigned form the media outfit after 13 years of service.
Sesay, a British born journalist of Sierra Leonean descent, announced her resignation on her Twitter handle, @IamIshaSesay, on Wednesday.
She wrote, “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.”
Sesay also revealed her frustration with Western media, which is focused on US President Trump.
She said, “It’s all so Trump-focused. “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.
