Everyone thought I was mad- Miss Tamima explains why she chose Ebru TV over KTN

Miss Tamima Ibrahim has been part of the entertainment scene which has seen her rise to become a force to reckon with. Born and raised in Kibera as the first born in her family, she had to be a good role model to her siblings which cultivated a much needed sense of responsibility.

She’s married to Enos Olik and together have a child. Tamimi got a job at KTN as a Str8Up Show presenter, later moved to Front Raw, which airs on KTN News.

Bold move

But after sometime, she decided to move to Ebru TV which was really new then. This made people think the mother of one was out of her mind.

“Everyone thought I was mad! I had a good position and more opportunities for growth at KTN than Ebru TV but the later appealed to me. Ebru TV had a great team with great resources but some reason it had not picked up with the Kenyan audience. With my experience in the TV business, I was definitely up for the challenge,” she told Parents magazine.

In April 2018, she left Ebru to take up a job as the Head of Content and also the host of ‘Real Talk with Tamima’ at Switch TV.
