BEYOND grateful for all the love on my recent @cnn cnnafrica piece! Appreciate everyone that took the time to watch the full show 🤍 Thank you to my Salone sister @alimajw for granting me this incredible opportunity to share my journey with you all in such a thoughtful and considered way. Thank you @larrymadowo and the CNN team for coming by @shawthingstudio ! Was such a wholesome and memorable day of shooting This episode is a beautiful summary and celebration of what I’ve been able to build so far, and a moment to honour my late father. His encouragement and acceptance of me still echoes through everything I do and is what keeps me going. It’s an honour to keep his legacy going. Happy Sierra Leone Independence Day! 🇸🇱🤍 #sierraleone #ejatushaw

British-Sierra Leonean photographer Ejatu Shaw has had the privilege of capturing the likes of Angela Bassett and Usain Bolt. She tells CNN’s Larry Madowo about the honor of photographing people she’s admired since childhood #cnnafricanvoices
