Kenyan young actress Hadassah Precious, daughter to gospel artist and mentor Princess Farida, has been nominated for the Best Child Actress category at the Women in Film Awards (WIFA) — a major milestone in her fast-rising acting career.
Hadassah is best known for her role in the popular TV series Single Kiasi (2022–present) and has appeared in several other productions including This Side of the Sun, Twin, Baba Twins, Househelps of Kawangware, and Njoro wa Uber. She has also featured in commercials for major brands such as Safaricom, Colgate (India), and Onyx (Nigeria), and even travelled to Malaysia for a Minute Maid advert — experiences that have helped shape her into a confident young performer on both local and international sets.
What are the WIFA Awards?
The Women in Film Awards (WIFA) are an awards program that recognises and celebrates women and young girls in the film and creative industry. The awards aim to highlight talent, creativity, and impact in acting, directing, production, and other roles within film and television.
WIFA also focuses on empowering female creatives, giving them visibility, confidence, and encouragement to pursue careers in film and media. Being nominated means that an artist’s work has stood out for its quality, dedication, and impact, even among many other talented performers.
For a young actress like Hadassah Precious, a WIFA nomination is significant because it recognises her talent at an early age, encourages her growth in the industry, and places her among the most promising young performers in Kenya’s film and TV space.
A Proud Moment for Family and the Creative Industry
The nomination is a proud moment not only for Hadassah but also for her mother, Princess Farida, who has been vocal about nurturing talent and empowering young girls. It also reflects the growing opportunities for children in Kenya’s creative industry and the importance of platforms that celebrate young talent.
As Hadassah continues to balance school with her acting career, this nomination serves as motivation for many young creatives who dream of making it in film and television.
Fans and supporters have taken to social media to congratulate her and wish her the very best at the awards.
