Famous journalist Sarafina Robi has shared an emotional farewell message after landing a prestigious role at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), marking the end of her five-year tenure at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC).

“I still remember the first time I received a call to start working at KBC, I was so excited I cried so much! For six years, I have met people who have shaped me into the journalist I am today. Today I cried a lot saying goodbye because I am not so good at goodbyes and I had gotten pretty attached to the national broadcaster,” she shared.
Sarafina expressed her heartfelt thanks to KBC for playing a pivotal role in her professional growth. “KBC has taught me the importance of professionalism and has given me a solid work ethic,” she said. “I will miss it, but we’ll meet again in the field.”

Beyond her journalism career, she is actively involved in a non-governmental organisation that advocates for girls’ and boys’ empowerment and fights against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
