Honored to have been selected as a recipient of the Black Women Photographers x Nikon USA grant! I received a 5k grant in support of my project. It’s very special to ruminate on an idea for months, even years, and finally see it come to life with the help and support of my community. I’m grateful to Black Women Photographers and Nikon for seeing and believing in my vision and allowing me to feel seen. Chance favors the prepared mind, and I’m excited to finally explore the depths of my project with this grant and share my ideas, creations, and stories with the world ✨ #blackwomenphotographers #bwpgrantfund #bwpxnikon
