Isha Sesay
Isha Sesay is a British journalist of Sierra Leonean descent. She is best known in the UK as a former newsreader for Sky Sports News and ITN, and since 2005 has been an anchor for CNN International.
Sesay began her television career as a researcher for the BBC talk show Kilroy, initially as an unpaid volunteer but later as a full-time paid employee. In 1998, she moved to Glasgow to work for BBC Scotland, and after a period behind the camera got her first job as a TV presenter on BBC Choice.[1] She went on to present a variety of programmes for the BBC, CNN, and TWI, before joining Sky in March 2002.
At Sky, Sesay spent over three years as a presenter on Good Morning Sports Fans for Sky Sports News. She has stated that she considers the high points of this period to be meeting former boxer Michael Watson, interviewing Ellen MacArthur, and travelling with members of the Arsenal football team following an exhibition match at Reebok Stadium in support of Nwankwo Kanu’s heart foundation. She later moved to ITN, where she anchored ITV1’s Early Morning News programme, and was also a newsreader on breakfast programme GMTV.
Her mother is Kadi Sesay, a former lecturer at Fourah Bay College, who entered Sierra Leonean politics in 1992 as an advisor to the government of Valentine Strasser.
