Mammito refuses to promote bleaching creams
Mammito, a popular Kenyan comedienne, has said that she will not endorse skin bleaching or whitening products, no matter how much money she is offered.
Mammito, who has over 1 million followers on social media, is known for her humorous content and her advocacy for self-acceptance and self-love. She believes that everyone is beautiful in their own skin, and she does not want to contribute to the pressure that people feel to conform to unrealistic beauty standards.
“I love my skin, I love black everything,” she said. “I won’t judge you for doing your little thing, but that isn’t just for me. I wouldn’t like to make somebody else feel like they need to do something to themselves to change their appearance to look a certain way.”
Mammito’s stance is echoed by her friend and fellow comedian, Terence Creative. Terence has also refused to endorse harmful products, such as alcohol and gambling, due to his own personal experiences with addiction.
“I have lost a lot of money through gambling,” he said. “I lost a car and a lot of money that I was supposed to use to buy land. I don’t want to be a part of anything that could hurt someone else.”
Mammito and Terence’s decisions are a reminder that influencers have a responsibility to use their platform for good. By refusing to endorse harmful products, they are setting a positive example for their followers and helping to promote body positivity and healthy choices.
