Carla Mullen — a New York-based documentary photographer passionate about using visual storytelling to illuminate truth and advocate for change. Her work centers on capturing the real, often overlooked stories that shape our communities, with a deep focus on Black maternal health. Through her lens, she aims to honor the strength, struggles, and resilience of Black women, their families and advocates, creating imagery that not only informs but also humanizes and empowers. Photography, for her, is a powerful tool for advocacy—a way to give a voice to the unheard and visibility to the unseen.
