Hannah Karema was crowned Miss Uganda 2023 in March this year.
Upon achieving this milestone, she received negativity and backlash from some Ugandans online who accused her of being a Rwadese.
Karema says she has not been supported enough by Ugandans and many don't appreciate her efforts.
"At this point, I need all the support I can get, because when you get to a point where no one is appreciating what you are doing, sometimes you get tired, no matter how passionate you are,” she said in an interview with a local YouTuber.
Karema has been doing different activities across the country including encouraging young girls to stay in school and promoting menstrual hygiene in schools.
