By sharing their work, she gives them a platform to showcase their work and get hired. The platform, Black Women Photographers, also provides a forum where creators can celebrate, elevate and financially support each other especially those who have been affected adversely by the Pandemic.

Speaking to NPR about her website, the 26-year-old said, “What I want people to know about our community is that it has a depth of talent and untapped brilliance. Before you explore the site, it should go without saying that I am not the first person to create a platform for Black women and non-binary photographers. I’m launching this platform as a way to contribute to their efforts and as a small token of appreciation to all Black women and non-binary photographers worldwide.” Source-https://www.kbc.co.ke/ Polly Irungu: Kenyan born photographer Making an impact globally
