Lulu Hassan is a media anchor who inspires many, especially girls and women. Why? Her professionalism while doing her high-profile job, has shown that one doesn’t need drama in their personal lives to be a hit with Kenyan audiences.
How has she been able to tread that fine line in an industry where many entertainers become fodder for scandal ergo a mainstay on blogs such as ours?
She revealed her answer when she spoke to us. She explained:
MOST YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE JOINING MEDIA ARE DOING IT FOR FAME AND NOT PASSION, SO THEY END UP DOING STUPID THINGS BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE THEY ARE GETTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
What should one’s motivation be, according to the media darling who is married to Rashid Abdallah?
MY ADVICE TO THEM IS TO SET GOALS ON WHAT THEY WANT FROM IT. WITHOUT GOALS, YOU WILL END UP DOING WEIRD THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS BUT FOR BAD REASONS.
Another gem she dropped was that one’s peace is maintained by putting out their personal life in the media spotlight. She explained succinctly:
YOU HAVE TO HUSTLE AND DO IT IN THE RIGHT WAY.
Considering the success she has had in both her professional and personal life, one must assume that she has it figured out.
Is she the rare personality that has it all (the famous work-life balance that many strive for?)
