Global community and digital database, Black Women Photographers (BWP), launched on July 7, 2020 by Polly Irungu, with a COVID-19 relief fund (#BWPReliefFund) to provide support to Black women and non-binary photographers during the pandemic. In an effort to promote and encourage inclusive hiring practices, the database highlights any and all Black women who elect to be submitted.

By providing a resource for the industry’s gatekeepers, Black Women Photographers aims to disrupt the notion that it is difficult to discover and commission Black creatives. Through honest dialogue via social conversations, the platform seeks to ensure that more Black women are empowered to make the industry as colorful as it ought to be.
