She moved to Ebru TV a relatively new station as the Channel Operations Manager. A move that was viewed as crazy by many people as KTN had so much to offer to her in term of career growth.

“Everyone thought I was mad! I had a good position and more opportunities for growth at KTN than Ebru TV but the later appealed to me. Ebru TV had a great team with great resources but some reason it had not picked up with the Kenyan audience. With my experience in the TV business, I was definitely up for the challenge,” she told Parents magazine.

In April 2018, she left Ebru to take up a job as the Head of Content and also the host of ‘Real Talk with Tamima’ at Switch TV.
