Getty Images and Verizon reward three innovative creators redefining Disability Representation with a US$20,000 grant 

I’m so grateful for receiving such an unforgettable, unbelievable and memorable prize from Getty Images . By winning this grant, I believe strongly my Underwater Tranformation Project is my forever project. I’ll be capturing thrivers’ beautiful moment until I leave this world!

This is HUGE! It was so hard to believe and my heart is still beating really fast.

Thank you everyone for your support! I couldn’t have been here without your warm hearts.

Also, I want to congratulate other awesome winners, Oaklee and Sam.

We also had an amazing discussion on disabilities and our passion for photography on Zoom a few months later.

It was incredible to share our stories and experience as a photographer while we dealt with our disabilities in public. Please watch the YouTube video from here.

One of the winners, Samantha Tokia and I photographed each other in the past. We talked about how we found each other, the beautiful experience and photo shoot process.
