Ugandan socialite Bad Black relaunches herself after release from jail

Bad Black before and after bleaching.

She is back, where she doesn’t belong. Shanita Namuimbwa, commonly known as Bad Black, is in her mid-thirties and was in her mid-twenties when she took Kampala’s social circuit by the storm a decade ago. She had money to burn, until it burnt her.

Bad Black’s story was one of rags-to-riches-to-prison. She fell as fast as she rose, but she is back. Back then, the dark skinned twilight girl would storm expensive clubs, declare all drinks and foods are on her and people would grudgingly sing her praises.
