Journalist Remembered as Godly, Brilliant

Relatives of former CVM LIVE top journalist and Director of Communications at the National Parenting Support Commission Khadijah Thomas, remember her fondly after her passing Sunday. They say her brilliance brought joy and success to her over the years, marked by a deep religious connection. Many in the rural St Catherine area she called home spoke proudly of the young professional.

Our senior reporter Neika Lewis visited Thomas’ family home and files this report. A top achiever, a fighter, humble and determined to make her family proud, Khadijah Thomas.

Took her first steps in life here. The former St Jago High School prefect/ student has made her hometown and all who knew her proud, excelling on every beat she was assigned in life, including her assignment in the CVM TV newsroom.

A soft-spoken but tough reporter she made a mark impacting everything she touched for the better, later heading to touch the lives of those she loved dearly, children at the national parenting commission. Her journey came to its end on Sunday minutes before 9, after a rigorous battle with lupus.

Gone but not forgotten, her loved ones remain strong in the face of tragedy, still in shock at the thought of her absence for now. 

It’s early days yet but the family will soon be making arrangements to lay their loved one to rest.
