Ugandan model Trammer defends controversial social media posts

Ugandan model Nature Trammer, who has made a name for herself in Dubai’s high-stakes fashion industry, has spoken out in defense of her controversial social media posts.

Trammer argues that platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where she boasts hundreds of thousands of followers, have been instrumental in breaking barriers and promoting diversity, particularly for minorities like herself.

Despite her success, Trammer faces criticism from those who claim her content promotes consumerism, materialism, and unrealistic beauty standards, rather than addressing meaningful social or environmental causes. Critics have accused her of leveraging her platform primarily for self-promotion and glamour, raising questions about the societal impact of her influence.

But in a recent interview, Trammer urged her detractors to consider the challenges she has overcome in her journey to success. These include encounters with scammers and persistent misconceptions about her lifestyle, which she says have shaped her career and public image. However, skeptics have questioned the authenticity of some of these claims, alleging that they may be exaggerated for publicity.

Trammer has worked with luxury brands and is credited with helping to increase African representation in the Middle Eastern fashion industry. She remains steadfast in her belief that social media has been a great equalizer, allowing her to connect directly with fans and navigate the fiercely competitive modelling world.
