Isha Sesay is a British journalist of Sierra Leonean descent who became a TV news star in 2014 when she led a CNN team to a Peabody award for her coverage of the kidnapping of 276 school girls in Nigeria. Isha stayed with the story over the years and spent time with the girls that escaped, as well as with the families of the girls that are still unaccounted for. She put her experiences into a book, Beneath the Tamarind Tree: A Story of Courage, Family, and the Lost Schoolgirls of Boko Haram. Isha also launched an educational humanitarian nonprofit organization called W.E. Can Lead, which was created to support African girls in receiving educational support so that they can become future leaders.
