   The Award Winning Journalist Episode

   Stephanie Busari, award-winning journalist, tri-lingual story teller and soon to be media mogul (from our mouths to the ears of God), believes journalists are born not made. She got her first byline on her first assignment and hasn’t looked back since. Friendly, happy and kind (her words), Stephanie does not believe in hiding the female light under a bushel. From that award winning, career defining Chibok girls’ story to turning the lens on to other women with her latest project ‘HERSTORY’, Stephanie Busari straddles the information landscape with, she hopes (no prays) truth, faith and a touching incongruous gentleness. In this episode, we discuss: The CHIBOK GIRLS story and the juxtaposition of high points and low points; LA LAW, big energy and being blinded by ambition; Her next power moves – HERSTORY, the Story Telling Academy and ….. (stay tuned to her channel ….) The scramble for African minds, African Stream and the Western news machinery; Legacy media, alternative facts and our bewildering post-truth present; Church, faith and yes, Nathaniel Bassey (again); Mother as the favourite person vs ‘How to Talk So Your Teen Will Listen’ - that sweet agonising circle of life; The challenge of finding the ready joke or even anything for the Bucket List – O to be an award-winning journalist! As Stephanie steps into her next chapter, the sun in her face, the world at her feet, HerStory is now for the telling. This episode will get you thinking about stories and narratives, how they are framed, how they are told and who does the telling.
