I am a witness and I want my testimony to be honest and uncensored.
-James Nachtwey
I grew up with a grandfather who lived out his belief that the essence of life is relationships. He taught me to believe in the power and strength of relationships, and to take his belief one step further, I believe that through relationships we create community, and community creates a foundation for strength and support.
Photography has taught me the impact of a still frame, that light and darkness coexist together. I have seen and captured love through small hands, the kindness we are suppose to live out in help from strangers. I have been humbled and brought to my knees. And now I have the chance to pay it forward.
I have the amazing opportunity to share my love of photography and the abilities I believe it can have on the world and serve a community in Gatundu, Kenya. Winners Self Help Group is a local support system that works to educated and empower youths and women; as well as provide knowledge about medication and care to people living with HIV/AIDS.
In service of one community I look to my community and those who have supported me.
Your support will help me pay for things such as:
- Airfare
- Visa's
- Vaccinations
- Health Insurance
- Travel Insurance
