The past 3 years have brought opportunities for growth and I am grateful. I am very appreciative of the incredible team I have had the pleasure of working with. I am also thankful for all my supporters; both online and in the many counties I have traversed. Thank you for your constant love and encouragement. As I am drawing closer to the end of my PhD journey, every minute, every ounce of energy and every resource is critical towards my thesis research.

Holy Dave with his sister Joey Muthengi. Citizen TV presenter quits

"Tonight I laughed, cried, danced...sometimes at the same damn time. Thanks for tuning in to my final 10/10 show. Still hasn't sunk in yet. So many emotions. Like who cries on national TV??... Finally felt like I could give my natural hair a chance to shine tho (Had shaved my head bald a few weeks before I got my job at Citizen btw - fun fact)...talk about things coming full circle! All in all I'm SO thankful for the opportunity. Looking forward to the future. Trusting that the God I serve got there waaay before me and is now preparing my path to the next chapter. Thanks a mil for the love. Watch this space...Cause HE ain't done with me yet. Can I get an Amen?!”&nbsp;she said.

It's a wrap for HD!
