Recently my portrait of Silivene in Rwanda was selected to be a part of an exhibition in Switzerland at FIBA (International Basketball Federation) headquarters along with 39 other images for their annual photo contest.

My friends over at Shooting Touch delivered some portraits I shot a year ago in Rwanda to the women in the portraits. They sent me these images.

It is my pleasure with immense gratitude to announce that my short video following the women’s march in Kayonza, Rwanda alongside my good friends at the NGO, Shooting Touch, was selected as an International Motion Art Awards 7 Winner. This means the video will live in the American Photography - American Illustration Archive forever and be screened in New York City this coming November along side the other winners.

I am extremely excited to announce that my portrait of Silivene photographed in Rwanda was chosen as a winner of American Photography 35 and will be included in the American Photography Archive. It has been my mission to continue telling the stories of women in Rwanda using basketball to improve their lives along side Shooting Touch and I am so grateful that this image will live in the American Photography Archive forever.

I’ve had the pleasure of going on safari a few times at the end of my trips to Rwanda, photographing basketball culture. These are some of my favorite images from those trips.

Today is the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, a day to recognize the positive influence sport has on the advancement of human rights, and social and economic development.

Shot on my 3rd trip to Rwanda for Shooting Touch, a basketball nonprofit with the mission of using sport to educate and empower at-risk and the communities in which they live. For this film I utilized an incredible speech by Shooting Touch Board Member and Athletic Director of the Noble & Greenough school that he gave to a group of new coaches in Nyamirama, Rwanda following a coaches clinic.

Recently recognized by the United Nations Office on Sport Development and Peace as a top 10 section for the International Day of Sport Development and Peace video contest. 

Back in June, I was lucky enough to partner with a Boston-based nonprofit, Shooting Touch, to travel to Rwanda and document the participants in their "Basketball Health Corps" initiative. They use the sport of basketball and their partnerships with health administrators to teach children valuable skills and preventative treatments when it comes to HIV/AIDS, malaria, and daily health.
