#80: Using powerful photography to bring dignity to slaves

Lisa Kristine is an American humanitarian photographer, activist and speaker. Through her powerful pictures, she raises worldwide the awareness about the dignity and respect of indigenous peoples and the lives of slaves. Her photography has effectively documented indigenous cultures and social causes, including modern-day slavery in particular, in more than 100 countries. I first encountered her impressive work in 2013 at her gallery in Samona, California. When I entered her gallery I stood transfixed in front of the photo of five-year-old Kofi, a child slave from Africa. For several minutes I had to cry, although at that time I did not even know what this picture was really expressing. Since early childhood, Lisa has been living her passion and using her talent for a cause of the utmost importance. Her work has won her various international awards, she delivered TED Talks, and has been honored by the Pope himself. Lisa lives her purpose from the bottom of her heart and thus her unique legacy for the good of humanity. In our podcast, we talk about  how she found her purpose how she finds the courage to follow her call, despite risks, to raise awareness for the dignity and justice of more than 50 million slaves how she descends into 300-meter-deep shafts to document the work of slaves in mines  what her vision is what her foundation aims to achieve More information about Lisa Kristine and her impressive pictures at https://lisakristine.com/.
