Khadija Farah is a travel and documentary photographer from Nairobi, Kenya. From climate change to women’s issues, she is passionate about stories which provide a ‘light bulb moment’ or challenge public discourse on a subject. Much of her travel work seeks to document the daily lives of people and the issues that affect them. She is also interested in documenting faith communities and different religious rituals in the hope that it will foster familiarity with one another through our many expressions of worship.
Khadija participated the first Women Photograph mentorship program in 2017 and is part of the 2020 Lit List by Authority Collective, Women Photograph, Diversify Photo, and World Press Photo's African Photojournalism Database (APJD).
Her work has appeared in TIME Magazine, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, ESPN, and more. Khadija has also worked with various NGOs such as Oxfam and Action Against Hunger.
