Lulu Hassan’s biological father is of Seychellois descent while her mom Mariam Abu, is a Seychellois-Kikuyu half-cast.
The newscaster is the firstborn daughter in a family of three siblings among them two sisters.
“Being the firstborn, I did not face any hardships while growing up; I was taken to one of the best schools in Mombasa – Aga Khan Academy.”

Unfortunately, her mother Mariam Abu succumbed to a short illness in 2007, leaving behind huge family responsibilities.
Lulu Hassan proceeded to raise her two sisters using inherited wealth.
“It wasn’t difficult taking my sisters to school since mum left us with some wealth. She had a real estate business which I began managing upon her demise. I’d been helping earlier, so it was not difficult to take over.”

She eventually resigned from her role as a cabin crew at Salrene Travel Operations College for a new job as a presenter at Radio Salaam in Mombasa.
It was at this point that going back to class for a degree in journalism became a reality.
“When I landed a radio job in Mombasa, I thought it would be good to have journalism skills. So I went back to school and studied the course.”

How did she move to Nairobi?
“When I was a presenter at Radio Salaam in 2008, a KTN cameraman informed me there was a crisis at their station. Two of their Swahili anchors were going on maternity leave, and they needed someone to step in. He asked me to try my luck. Being a risk taker, I went for a screen test and I made the cut.”
