Kenyan businesswoman Dama Wa Spares has addressed an online discussion involving her daughter Baby Talia and a social media page after photos or content involving the child appeared to attract public attention.
In a post shared on social media,Dama asked an administrator of Kilimani Mums to remove her child from the page.
She made it clear that she had previously explained her position about her children and did not want them mixed into discussions surrounding other people’s stories.
The businesswoman also addressed claims linked to artificial intelligence,making it clear that she did not consider the issue her responsibility and could not control how people chose to interpret or discuss it online.
Her latest remarks come amid increased public attention around Baby Talia,who has continued to attract interest from social media users since her arrival.
Talia’s birth previously became a widely shared moment online with Dama receiving attention over the elaborate homecoming celebration and luxury vehicles associated with the occasion.
Dama appeared particularly keen to separate her daughter from conversations that she believes do not concern her family.
She questioned why people were posting other people’s children instead of concentrating on their own,while making a playful reference to a blogger.
The post also brought Baby Talia back into the centre of an ongoing social media conversation, with Dama using humour while responding to the attention surrounding her daughter.
She further referred to a billboard and what she described as the previous day’s tea from a chef, leaving her followers to interpret whether the references were connected to the latest online discussion.
The remarks have added another layer to the growing online attention surrounding Dama and her family.
The businesswoman has previously been vocal on social media about matters involving public figures and family issues including speaking out when she believes private family matters are being discussed publicly.
Dama has also built a significant public profile through her spare parts business and her presence in Kenya’s entertainment and social media circles.
Her business has been associated with several branches across the country while her personal posts regularly attract reactions from her followers.
