Written By: MIM!—"Do I have to get nude to be a supermodel?" Tanzania's Flaviana Matata asks this provocative question as she shares her perspective on what it is like to be a Tanzanian model grounded in traditional values while working in a profession. She continues:
Modeling in Tanzania is a relative[ly] new profession and has been misjudged often to be a promiscuous job. It has taken time to gain some acceptance within the society. But what makes things more difficult has been the more modern clothes that are often short or revealing. For instance, posing in a swimsuit could be deemed ‘immoral’ or ‘loose’, and may even result in the family exerting influence on models to stop modeling. Swimsuits have slowly become more acceptable in everyday and also in magazines although tolerance is still very little in the case of local models.
