Who is Nasibo?

Nasibo Kabele is a former health reporter who was on the frontlines covering COVID-19 news alongside the former Health Cabinet secretary, Mutahi Kagwe.

She started suffering from mental health challenges after the COVID-19 period.

Nasibo’s appeal

In an undated viral video, Nasibo narrated her touchy story, revealing that during the 2020 pandemic, she received a presidential award for her exemplary coverage of COVID-19.

She went on to say that having worked in the media industry for six years, she felt overwhelmed with the workload during the pandemic after some of her colleagues were fired, leaving her with four others. She further stated that seeing COVID-19 patients passing away messed up her mental health.

Additionally, the mother of one disclosed that later on her life changed drastically after she was diagnosed with depression, which led her to quit her job.

“My name is Nasibo; I have one child, and I worked in the media for six years before I got depression, so during that time my life changed drastically,” she narrated.

“In 2020, I was given the presidential award. I was a health reporter hata hiyo time ya COVID-19 Mutahi Kagwe alikuwa akiniitanga, so vile walichuja watu kwa office I was among the five that were left in the media station I was working with.

“So vile tuliwachwa hiyo kazi ikanisumbua unaona watu wakikufa iyo time ya COVID-19, so nikabaki kwa ofisi, then I was diagnosed with depression, later admitted to Chiromo Hospital, and I was put on anti-depressant medication, but after going for two to three treatments, I decided to quit my job.”

Nasibo further appealed to well-wishers to help her with a decent home and also get back into the media industry, not as a reporter but as a podcaster.

“People don’t understand that depression is real. I would like to come back to the media industry, but on a different platform. I would like to do a podcast. Maybe if I get the equipment like a microphone, I can do it. I used to be a writer, but the media is changing, so I would like to do something along the podcast area and vlogging,” Nasibo appealed.

“I have done podcasts before; also, if I can get somewhere to stay because here is not safe, it is cold, I am likely to get pneumonia.”
