The Somali Media for Environment, Science, Health and Agriculture (SOMESHA) thrilled to announce her yearly Green Science and Agricultural Journalism Award winner and selected prominent female journalist Asha Ibrahim Aden to be the legend of the 2022.

Mrs. Asha Ibrahim Aden is currently an International Broadcaster at Voice of America (VOA) and worked for several media outlets in Somalia including the government voice radio of Mogadishu which is the big radio station in across Somalia and privately owned radio Horn Afric.
