As a journalist, Tanneri Chaso has been a pivotal influence in shaping my approach to reporting. It taught me how to use evidence to tell the stories of ordinary people and how to bring accountability into the spotlight. The slogan “Don’t complain, ask questions” has always inspired me. Through various programs, I gained invaluable insights and learned how to frame everyday issues from the perspective of accountability. This has been a significant learning experience for me.
Today, beyond regular reporting, I’m engaged in investigative journalism. Thanks to Tanneri Chaso, I’ve earned national and international fellowships and developed a deep interest in raising the voices of ordinary people. It’s essential to question the authorities on behalf of the people, and this network has empowered me to do that effectively. I’m forever grateful for the inspiration and the storytelling skills I learned here, which have greatly supported my professional journey.
