How the renowned British Sierra Leonean broadcaster became a mother for the first time at 46
Former CNN News Anchor Aisha Sesay welcomes first child at 46.
Isha Sesay has earlier opened up on divorce, getting pregnant at 46.
“I published a book, became a UN Goodwill Ambassador and started a nonprofit to help empower African girls, but in my quiet moments, the one thing I wanted the most, to become a mother, remained out of reach,” she said.
It was the first time the renowned British Sierra Leonean broadcaster would go public with details of her private life.
In a lengthy pregnancy journal published on NBC’s Today show, Ms Sesay revealed she was divorced and conceived at 46.
She also shared snippets on her Instagram page.
The anchor married Leif Coorlim, an award-winning journalist and executive editor of the CNN Freedom Project, in 2013.
