Isabelle Boemeke is the world’s first nuclear energy influencer, and she wants you to know she is not a shill.
The 30-year old Brazilian model, who lives in California, began hailing the benefits of nuclear energy and decrying nuclear plant closures all across her social media accounts in February. On Instagram, where she has more than 29,000 followers, her posts suddenly pivoted from photo shoots and Met Ball galas to energy memes, interviews with nuclear scientists, and surreal videos about the small size of uranium pellets.
Performing under her otherworldly alter-ego, “Isodope,” Boemeke makes videos that play on popular influencer tropes of makeup tutorials and exercise routines — then she pulls a bait-and-switch on the viewer. One moment you think you’re in for a model’s skincare advice, the next she’s showing you her favorite plant-based serum called “When A Nuclear Plant is Shut Down, it is Replaced by Fossil Fuels.”
