Lulu Khadija Hassan is a Kenyan journalist, news anchor, producer, and CEO of Jiffy Pictures. She co-hosts the Nipashe Wikendi news bulletin on Citizen TV alongside Rashid Abdalla. The Swahili-language bulletin airs on Saturday and Sunday.
Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdallah, one of Kenya's prominent media couples, founded Jiffy Pictures in 2016.
Hassan began her career earlier at Radio Salaam, joining the station at 20 years old after applying for a position as a part-time English newscaster. She secured the job and simultaneously enrolled in media school.
Hassan eventually secured her first TV role as a Swahili newscaster on KTN, while Rashid Abdallah became a news anchor at NMG's now-defunct Swahili TV station, QTV. When QTV shut down, Abdallah transitioned to NTV as a Swahili news anchor.
During their time on air, they conceived the idea for Jiffy Pictures, a production house focused on creating dramatic Swahili telenovelas for local audiences. The couple took on roles in scriptwriting, talent scouting, and executive producing the shows. In 2016, they established the company's social media presence, and by 2017, they secured their first project greenlight from Multichoice for the show "Maza."
Lulu and Rashid reunited on air in 2018 when Rashid joined Citizen TV from NTV. Their chemistry, combined with the unique appeal of a couple co-anchoring news bulletins, won over fans and led to brand endorsement opportunities.added details about Lulu Hassan
