Apart from her top notch photography skills, we love Lyra’s clear skin and fashion sense. You go girl!

World Photography Day is an annual, worldwide celebration of the art, craft, science and history of photography. Althought it’s still considered a ‘man’s job’ in Kenya, these amazing women are changing the narrative- one image at a time.
