She is big, bold, beautiful, inspiring and unapologetic. In the latest edition of The KOKO Magazine – to be released next week, our cover star Peace Hyde gives an intimate account of her life, charity, her award-winning Forbes programmes – My Worst Day with Peace Hyde” and “Against The Odds”, her empowering journeys and decisions that propelled her to be unanimously crowned the African queen of talk show.

From her thoughts on religion to the interesting reason why she refuses to get rid of a particular black dress from her wardrobe, Peace was as candid and revealing as never before.
