To celebrate the #16daysofactivism 2023, In collaboration with @PENAmerica we had an insightful chat with Zubeida Kananu, a seasoned journalist working at @ktnnews_kenya and also happens to be the current and first female President of the Kenya Editors' Guild. Zubeidah is a woman of many achievements and has interviewed many African Presidents and had the privilege to moderate the Kenya Presidential and gubernatorial debates 2022. These came with high pressure and she rose to the occasion and outdid herself carrying herself with utmost professionalism. She however received the worst backlash and hate online where the trolling grew worse and worse by the day, escalating past her to her husband and children during a season where she had also lost her mother. We are in an era where many women journalists and politicians choose to self sensor or leave social media altogether for fear of backlash. In this episode, we share more tips and nuggets on how women can protect themselves online. Host/ Producer: Cecilia Maundu Operations Manager: Easter Pefuli
