The “Not So Newsy News” show on YouTube is my baby. As the host, I talk about current affairs and trending topics in my own unique style.

I derive so much joy from doing it and I’m glad that N2BA gave me the opportunity. While on the show, I can really be myself, and the whole team is just amazing.

Eight episodes are already out and can be found on the N2BA page on YouTube.

4. Is comedy your career of choice or are you still interested in journalism?

My plan was to branch into advertising, but I will definitely get into showbiz.

I usually make such decisions based on how an interested partner has presented him or herself, and how our relationship will impact my career.
