"What inspires my activism is the desire to represent the marginalised and those who have their rights suppressed."

"I draw the red line against inequality, corruption and oppression."

"I draw the red line against inequality, corruption and oppression."

I became an activist when I saw the disregard towards women and how they are treated unequally compared to men.

My activism focuses on bringing positive change to our livelihoods.

The biggest challenges we are face are lack of resources to support our activism, and the lack of support from those who do have resources.

I am inspired by the desire to represent marginalised people and those whose rights are suppressed.

Meet The Photographer

Tevin Chinzamba

  • Tevin Solomon is an award winning photographer who has a personal
    conviction that our calling here on this earth is to serve, and to achieve this we use each and every tool at our disposal to amplify the voices of every individual crying for help. People who have seen the darkest side of life are normally stationed in places that are so remote, such that their loud cries only reach us as echoes hence the need to lend a listening ear to the stories and offer a platform for amplification per adventure it might land on the desk of a potential helper.

    Storytelling is my passion, help is my deepest desire and the media is my platform, my outlet.

    Hailing from Mutare, Zimbabwe, we capture these stories, unfiltered and the emotions, show them to the world. In any case, take me to where the story is, the media is not just there to entertain or socialise but also available to educate, transform and impact. Working with vulnerable individuals, grassroots communities or basically gifted individuals who need a platform is a joy to me. It gives me a sense of fulfilment, one of someone who has managed to live up to
    their calling on earth.

    Every project I have put on any public platform outlines the aforementioned, this is the passion and goal. I believe the story is in the pictures, I am a writer, who
    also writes in pictures. My photography is thought provoking and change
    initiating, there is no better way to express it.
