“The journey is going up from here…but a small break from TV. I would like to say that I appreciate the support that I got, I have grown a lot by being at Nation Media Group,” Azeezah said.
Azeezah has always been touted as a future star and house hold name in the media industry, but her initial ambition at her then tender age was to be a doctor while she was young. Something which could have been possible since she achieved a grade A plain in her KCSE exams.
Azeezah enrolled at the university of Nairobi to pursue a medical degree but later changed her major to journalism and media studies.
However the new resort was somehow unsuccessful to study through government sponsorship so she opted for self sponsorship .
Azeezah has often told her fans she struggles with social anxiety and that she decided to bury herself in books in the hope of pursuing a medical or aviation career.
“At this point I just stay at home when i’m not at work.” She said in a past interview.
Azeezah began her career at campus radio, an online radio station where she hosted a 1 hour political show. After a month she accepted a job as a content curator at what’s Up studios an online TV station in Lavington. She later joined MStar another online radio station shortly before it closed down.
She at one point was given an ultimatum by her father that if she could not find a well paying job she would have to change courses.
The gorgeous digital journalist landed a job at Ebru TV as a host for popular youth show ‘chit chat’ , she later joined the Ebru TV news team after only two shows as her superiors thought she had a great voice for news and political shows due to her unique deep voice. She worked as a news reporter for both the Swahili and English news segments.
She left Ebru after successfully landing a job on NRG radio as host for the NRGetic show just for a couple of months before she took on the job of TV host at Nation Media Group.
The host quitting Nation Media Services was never an alarm till now. A reliable source confirmed that Azeezah would never quit her job without a plan B. This only, means that Azeezah already had a deal with Royal Media Services before quitting.
If so she is now meant to replace Willis Raburu after the latter acquired a plump county job as Head of communication for Nairobi governor Johnstone Sakaja.
