Our Latina Lens

Our Latina Lens linked me with a photography job opportunity to cover an event for a Latina community in Los Angeles. The event was super fun and educational. The clients were very professional and paid fairly. It’s rewarding to network with other professional Latinas in my area. Love all the content shared on Our Latina Lens, I have learned about grant opportunities and other resources to help support my small business. Grateful to you Monika!

I am incredibly grateful for the OLL Community and Monika’s inspiring vision. In my 10 years as a fotógrafa, I often felt isolated in a competitive environment. OLL workshops have been transformative experiences, offering genuine connection and support that I had been missing in the photo community.OLL goes beyond photography, it celebrates community, connection and cultura. I’ve found a community that truly understands my POV as a fotógrafa supports my journey. If you’re seeking a space to grow and connect, I wholeheartedly recommend joining this beautiful community.

During the Mentorship workshop, it was very insightful to have 2 photographers from 2 different industries. For someone like myself who is unsure of what path to choose, I was able to reflect on who I connected with the most! I was motivated to sign up by the fact that the workshop involved Latinx/Latine trailblazers!

Being part of OLL has made me feel a sense of support and community alongside my fellow Latina photographers and has helped me feel I can have my peers root for me as I do for them. It also helps see other Latina photographers shine and encourages me to go out there and make bold creative moves as well. The photography community is white male dominated and often gate keeped away from POC creators. The OLL community helps us break barriers and move ahead together.
