Nazlin has also been interviewed by the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) on the top celebrity show in Kenya – Mambo Leo, by popular host Jimmy Gathu in February 2006. The Peoples Paper – The Peoples Digest profiled Nazlin again in a full page coverage on March 24th 2006 as “Mama Orange” on her democratic ideals, leadership and support for the Orange democratic movement – ODM and her Vision for her Presidency in Kenya and on April 30th, a full page interview in the Sunday Times.

On the road to a New constitutional debate and process of Referendum in Kenya, Nazlin has been the top woman luminary in the fore-front of the Orange democratic movement supporting the Campaign against the proposed constitution through-out all the regions in Kenya. She has been featured in all mediums in Kenya on the same. All the media houses both television and radio have featured her, including Citizen radio – Jambo Kenya live breakfast show, KBC TV live breakfast shows, KBC radio, Radio Rahma, Nation radio and television, Classic FM, KTN TV, NTV, KBC, Citizen television prime live interviews and on ‘Swala Nyeti’, a call in show, KTN Newsline live talk-show with the now hon. President his Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta on the issues faced with our Orange movement opposition of which we both were front-line luminaries of, the Standard, Nation, Peoples, Kenya times, Sunday times and Citizen weekly newspapers…etc and in soo many magazines and Radio talk-shows on many occasions as to defy counting. Indeed Nazlin was the face of the famous orange democratic movement in Kenya and repeatedly once again in opposition to the government proposed constitution in Kenya in 2010 which was promulgated.
Nazlin has also been profiled on a live show by the Kenya Television Network (KTN) after prime news in 2006 as a role model because of her dress-code and African attire which she created herself using locally produced fabrics and natural beads and ornaments which has created a dress fashion style for Kenyan women as Kenya does not have a traditional National attire, but which she has created and set a trend for. A media survey in Kenya in 2010 also recognized her amongst the top ten best dressed public-figure women in the world.
She has been interviewed severally on various International media channels on issues of Islam, the Kenyan political situation and Bills in discussion in Kenya, World Terrorism, Global Peace, Gender and Human Rights violations, leadership, democracy and good governance, the Palestinian/ Middle East crisis including the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq on CNN, Al Jazeera, Voice of America, Radio Tehran and BBC, Reuters, Associated press, AFP and several national and regional media houses the world over.
It is paramount to note that these media profiles captured herein are just a few up-to mid 2005 or thereabouts, after which her political career, quest for the presidency of Kenya and her daring opposition to social injustices, human rights violation, corruption and abuse of office both against her and the masses took a spiral leap and which has been impossible to document as it is overwhelming and too copious to collate for this bio-data.
