ABOUT ME

Lebo Diseko

Hi, I’m

Smiling African American woman with long braided hair wearing an orange top, standing outdoors with columns in the background.

I'm a journalist, broadcaster, and author with more than 20 years of experience telling stories that inform, inspire, and connect people. Much of my career has been spent at the BBC, where I've had the privilege of reporting on major events, interviewing remarkable people, and exploring the issues that shape our lives.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in the power of storytelling. Whether I'm reporting the news, hosting conversations, or writing books, I'm driven by a curiosity about people and the choices they make. I'm fascinated by how individuals and communities respond to change, navigate challenges, and leave their mark on the world around them.

As a broadcaster, I strive to make complex stories accessible, engaging, and meaningful. As a journalist, I value accuracy, integrity, and thoughtful reporting. And as an author,I document events that changed the course of history by exploring the emotional and personal experiences of those involved.

Throughout my career I've worked across a wide range of topics, cultures, and perspectives. These experiences have reinforced my belief that every person has a story worth telling and that listening with empathy is just as important as asking the right questions.
