CNN news anchor Isha Sesay quits after 13 years

Sesay made the announcement on social media saying: “It’s really happening, folks! After more than a decade behind the desk with those three red letters, I have left CNN.”

Commenting on the reason for her exit in an interview with WWS, Sesay said that she was taking a step back from working as an anchor to focus on what resonates the most with her.

The British national of Sierra Leonean descent was very heavy on the coverage of the Chibok girls abduction by Boko Haram insurgents in 2014.
