let's get to know each other
My name is Adelaide Khavugwi
I am a documentary photographer whose work centers on disability stories, advocacy, and lived experience. Grounded in community & care, my visual storytelling amplifies the voices of women, girls, youth, & other marginalized communities that are often overlooked or misrepresented. My work challenges stigma, highlights resilience, and documents everyday realities with dignity and honesty. I am driven by a commitment to social justice, accessibility and the power of storytelling as a tool for change .
Life is all about people, moments & emotions that we want to hold on to..
My passion for visual storytelling started when I was young back in the village when i used to see the happenings in the community I came from.As a young lady in my community it was more important to educate a boy child than a girl as it was believed that the girl will one day get married off and live her life,while on the other hand a boy stays back at home to take charge and look after the family.
Personally this was one of my journey,I was bright enough and even did well in school more than my brothers but in the end they were taken to better schools than me ,i was left to find ways to go to school and hence I started working at a tender age barely a teenager to save up some money so that I could join school and further my education..
