It’s been just a year since Black Women Photographers was founded, on July 7, 2020, and the organization has already done so much to help Black and non-binary photographers. The organization was founded by Polly Irungu in order to give Black women photographers like herself not only the platform and attention they deserve but also the appreciation and pay.

With 600+ members from all around the world, big strides have been made to help the community.

Just recently, BWP partnered with Nikon, receiving $40k in grants and $10k for gear.
