¡Hola a todxs, I’m @davillasana! As a Hispanic woman, most of my photography focuses on resilience against injustice as well as culture and diversity in Latin America. My identity also shapes my passion for increasing inclusivity in the media industry. #HispanicHeritageMonth Credit: Abel Santander Gamarra Some of these stories include documenting the threats facing transgender women in Latin America and their resilience despite them. For nearly a decade, I’ve strived to paint a more humanistic portrait of this community to educate others about transphobia’s dire consequences.

Nepal🇳🇵became a green city pioneer by launching women-driven 700 electric⚡public transportation back in 1995. Sachita here is one of the many women microentrepreneurs who struggles with a lack of affordable financing for their green businesses.
