She’s a comedy writer with correspondent credits on The Fareed Khimani Show and wrote for News By The Catalyst too, a satire web talk show hosted by Muthoni Maingi.
Through collaborations with Buni Media and Magamba TV from Zimbabwe, she’s scripted satirical pieces on a wide range of topics from election misinformation and disinformation and macro/microeconomics across the African continent. Justine created and hosts her own political satire show, Fake Woke With Justine, aimed at educational humor and critical dissection of the Kenyan/African political, economic, social, and cultural world.
