Femi Oke

Why you should listen

Femi Oke has leveraged her ability to ask endless questions at school into a surprisingly rich and non-linear career. The British-Nigerian journalist is an international broadcaster, professional facilitator and cofounder of Moderate The Panel, an organization working to make panel events less painful.

Oke anchors the global affairs discussion show The Stream on Al Jazeera, is a correspondent for the network's documentary series Fault Lines and is the social media correspondent for NPR's news program Here and Now. According to Oke, the secret to longevity in the news business is to love journalism and have a great moisturizer.
