Karibu to Rwanda ! So great to be out in the world again, catching up with old friends while working with amazing visuals teams across Kenya and Rwanda !! @worldbank

It has been several years since I covered the first @Womensmarch in 2017, where millions were drawn to Washington, D.C., widely considered the largest single day of activism in U.S. history. Today, passions still run high as thousands gathered in DC, as well as held demonstrations across the country in support of abortion rights. "I brought her to show her we have to fight for our rights. It's going to be a long road ahead and we have to start her now." said Gypsy Romero, pictured with her daughter.

To the baddest bitch in all the land. Celebrating Bela dog on National Black Dog Day. Who would have thought there was such a day but seems about right. #bossdog #14yearsstrong #doglove

Had the privilege to photograph Dorcas last week with the @humanrightscampaign , the latest project produced by my company @mesa7media . This is one part of our five-person series — See Me on  #TDOV — honoring International Transgender Day of Visibility, today March 31. Dorcas, who is a 2020 graduate of Columbia University's Health Policy & Management masters program and was an Associate Graduate Intern at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Epidemiology administration throughout the pandemic, said they believe all health is interconnected. “As health providers refusal to treat LGBTQ+ patients continues to be legalized and debated, the visibility of Black trans people in public health is more important than ever. Beyond visibility, people should know there are public health specialists working to create better conditions in healthcare for our communities everywhere.” Dorcas said they journal daily because they love writing and considers the positive mental health impact of writing a plus.  They also frequent the barbershop.  “My haircuts are really important to me. Who am I without my hairline, not me," said Dorcas. photos by @akvoisard / @mesa7media #trans #transgender

Feeling inspired by Women’s History month. I’ve been privileged over the years to photograph some amazing women, young and old.

Not your average day at the office.... WASHINGTON, DC- OCT 2-  ‎President Trumps walks to Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House on October 2, 2020, in Washington, DC, heading to Walter Reed Military Medical Center, after testing positive for the novel coronavirus. Trump will spend the coming days in the military hospital just outside Washington to undergo treatment for the coronavirus. (Amanda Voisard/for The Washington Post). As the world watches, what it means for the future of the campaign, the White House and the presidency is unknown. @washpostphoto @washingtonpost For more photos check The Washington Post Instagram.

The message is clear. Thousands gather in Washington at the Lincoln Memorial for the ‘Get Off Our Necks' Commitment March, marking the 57th anniversary of the 1963 civil rights March on Washington, an iconic event in American history during which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream,” speech. #commitmentmarch

Some images from this weeks peaceful protests in Washington, D.C. following the death of George Floyd which ignited protests across the U.S. @washpostphoto @washingtonpost #georgefloyd

A portrait I shot from a powerful story in @washpostnation @washpostphoto about rape victim, Amber Wyatt. @ebruenig recounts a story from her past that stayed with her long after High School ended. 12 years later and 1,200 miles away, she still searched for the answers to why the only person punished for the crime was the victim. The story resonates especially powerfully amidst the battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. The multimedia presentation is outstanding, please see link. Special thanks to @markumpixs :) https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/opinions/arlington-texas/
