We will also now have the means to evolve our craft through the mentorship of talented and experienced artists. The grant has presented the opportunity to further expand our work and our audience,” Malaika Muindi, NJ, U.S.

“When you’re looking to launch a career, mentorship and financial support can make all the difference in the world,” said Polly Irungu, Founder, Black Women Photographers. “Believe me, I know first-hand how daunting it can be to try to navigate the commercial industry space.
