In a recent interview with Yvonne Aoll, Yvonne Okwara talked about her relationship, marrying a man older than her. She was criticised after photos of the wedding surfaced online.
“People talked. People said things. That’s what comes with having a job in the limelight, but again, no one lives my life but me.
My husband is my best friend, we get along incredibly well, and none of these other issues have ever mattered.”
Okwara, who has worked at KTN for more than five years, says she has learnt a lot in the journalism field thanks to her mentors.
“Joe Ageyo, my boss, who’s also my mentor. He’s been very instrumental for me in so many ways. He’s also allowed me to take on many risks on air. And I couldn’t be more appreciative of that.
Also, Kathleen Openda. She left mainstream media, but that woman is absolutely incredible!”
Yvonne, who has always been there for her 49-year-old deaf-blind brother, says it’s not easy taking care of such a person.
