Wambui Kamau

Wambui Kamau is a decorated journalist whose reporting has taken her from Fargo, North Dakota—where one of the biggest stories was, yes, a moose on the loose—to covering national headlines like the killing of Daunte Wright, the collapse of Baltimore’s Key Bridge, and other major news events across the country.

Wambui has earned multiple journalism awards, including for Breaking News and In-Depth Reporting. She was also nominated for a national award for a story she covered during the 2024 presidential election, exploring whether Maryland’s growing African immigrant population could shift the state’s political power. 

Her work has appeared on NPR's Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Marketplace.  

Wambui is looking to expand her creative footprint by stepping into children's programming and spreading awareness by producing content on women's health.
