It's a women's affair as the Africa Climate Summit entered day two.
Daughters of the soil, Kenyan journalists Zain Verjee and Julie Gichuru were the masters of ceremony in the morning session at the summit.
Gichuru was dressed in an African Ankara wrap skirt and black top while Verjee rocked a green three-piece skirt suit.
Verjee began her television broadcasting career anchoring news for the Kenya Television Network.
She also hosted The Third Opinion, a political talk show, and freelanced for the BBC, producing several programmes for the ‘African Perspectives’ after the U.S. Embassy bombings in East Africa.
Her first break in the media came at Nairobi's Capital FM where she was a traffic news reporter and show host.
Gichuru is a communication specialist with a 20-year career in the fields of broadcast, print, and digital media.
Her profile in Kenya grew as she pioneered investigative television and programming on political and current affairs.
She has also received numerous awards and recognitions. Most recently, Avance Media listed her as one of the 100 Most Influential African Women of 2019, and New African listed her as one of the 100 Most Influential Africans of 2019.
