A white woman who underwent tanning injections to darken her skin and look African has revealed that she is now ready to relocate to Africa.
Martina Big, along with her husband, Michael Eurwen, injected themselves with Melanotan—a synthetic hormone that stimulates pigment cells to produce more melanin when exposed to UV rays.
Despite facing backlash and being told they could never truly be Black, the couple remained committed to their transformation.
In addition to altering her skin tone, Martina has also undergone extreme breast augmentation, increasing her bust size to 32T.
Speaking about her plans to move to Africa, she said:: “My husband and I had already planned to emigrate a few years ago, but then the pandemic hit.
“We have received invitations from fans in many African countries and so it hasn’t been easy to choose,’ Big said. ‘Currently, we have Kenya and Namibia on our shortlist.
“Since most of my modelling jobs are in Europe and the US, Michael fears it will be difficult for me to earn money in Africa. I’ve had to work hard to convince him that this is the best decision for us.
“My husband and I are still working on the schedule. It’s especially important that I have my surgeries (buttock augmentation and nose widening) done here in Europe beforehand.
“Since I want my surgeries very extreme, I don’t know any surgeons in Africa who can do those. I am hoping that we can resolve the remaining issues soon and realise our dream of emigrating as soon as possible.
“I want to emigrate to Africa because I feel a deep connection to the African people.
“The harsh criticism usually comes from the US via social media. People say things like “You’re White, you’ll never be Black” or say my skin is “Blackface”. But I don’t take these comments to heart.
“I assume that people who have negative attitudes toward me hold back when they meet me in person. Though I never walk around alone, my husband always accompanies me.
“Every time I’ve visited Africa though, I’ve felt at home and overwhelmed by the response.
“Once, as I got out of a taxi, a fan recognised me and a short time later, I was surrounded by a whole crowd of people wanting to take selfies with me and asking me many questions. I can’t wait to live there.
