No account in regards to Kenyan letters and writing can be credibly written in which Rasna Warah won’t feature. As one of the central markers of Kenyan Journalism, here was one whose style of commentary on issues was arresting, and will always remain original to me. When I became a journalist, Rasna Warah was not just a source of inspiration, but someone who helped me find my journalistic voice.

Through Debunk Speaks To, the interview series in which she was the trailblazer, I, together with other writers, found a space to hold important conversations. While we never crossed paths, her actions left an imprint for which I am grateful.

Kenya has lost a voice and witness of profound particularity and accuracy, on not only the state of our industry, but the nation as well.

Go well, Rasna Warah.
