Freelance journalist and documentary photographer Brian Otieno is deeply committed to sharing stories from his country—Kenya—and his community—in Kibera, a neighbourhood in Nairobi—that rarely makes it into the international news. Since 2013, Otieno has been dedicated to bringing to light the unseen side of Kibera, which is often portrayed as a place of poverty, violence, and disease. Through his project “Kibera Stories,” he focuses his lenses on a broader spectrum of life where hope, resilience, ambition, and a sense of community prevail. Otieno is committed to depolarizing and humanizing the traditional narrative that distorts how underprivileged communities are perceived and defined.
