Martina Big, a 36-year-old woman from Germany, has made headlines for identifying as Black. She and her husband, Michael Eurwen, 38, use Melanotan, a synthetic hormone that darkens their skin. Over the years, they have faced criticism from people who insist they will "never be Black."

Now, Martina and Michael are planning to move to Africa. She explained, "My husband and I had planned to move a few years ago, but the pandemic delayed our plans."

However, Michael is worried about Martina's ability to earn money in Africa since most of her modeling jobs are in Europe and the U.S. "I had to work hard to convince him that this is the best decision for us," she said.

Martina, who also goes by the Swahili name Malaika Kubwa (which means "Big Angel"), claims to have the largest breasts in Europe. She has undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries, including breast and lip enhancements. Before moving to Africa, she also plans to have a butt augmentation and surgery to "widen her nose."

After her story went viral, she received even more invitations from fans across Africa, strengthening her decision to relocate.

Martina Big, born on May 17, 1988, in Germany, is a model known for her extreme body modifications, including breast enlargements and skin-darkening procedures. She started her career as a flight attendant alongside her husband, Michael Eurwen, who was a pilot. In 2012, she left her job to pursue modeling and acting full-time​

Her transformation gained widespread attention when she began using tanning injections in 2017 to darken her skin, later identifying as a Black woman. In 2018, during a trip to Kenya, she was baptized by a local priest and given the name "Malaika Kubwa," which means "Big Angel" in Swahili​

Martina Big and her husband are now planning to move to Africa, considering Kenya and Namibia as potential destinations. She has expressed her desire to immerse herself in African culture despite criticism from those who argue that she cannot truly become Black.

Her husband is reportedly concerned about their ability to make a living in Africa since most of her modeling jobs are based in Europe and the U.S.​

Besides her skin-darkening procedures, she has undergone extensive cosmetic surgeries, including breast augmentation (reaching size 32S), lip enhancements, and plans for butt augmentation and nose-widening surgery before relocating​

Her net worth is estimated to be between $100,000 and $1 million as of 2024​

The couple has received invitations from fans in several African countries, making it difficult to choose a destination. Currently, they are considering Kenya and Namibia.
