Leila Mohammed Remember the name. As you Soar higher and higher I wish you Safe Skies and answered Duas all the way," Tenges said.
Leila is arguably the best female crime TV reporter in the country.
In 2018, she was the only civilian woman to go to Somalia during an African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) sponsored trip to see how Kenyan troops served.
She was among journalists, drawn from different media houses in Kenya, who had the opportunity to traverse Somalia.
Born in 1984, Leila is the youngest in a family of six siblings. She says growing up in Nairobi's Upper Hill and being around four brothers meant that every aspect of her life had to be fast and aggressive.
To actualise her dream, Leila joined Multimedia University for a diploma in communication after she cleared high school.
In 2011, she graduated from Masinde Muliro University with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication.
