Eman Mohammed is a Palestinian-born photojournalist. Her career began at 19, and she quickly gained international recognition for her powerful images capturing the daily life and struggles of people in the Gaza Strip.

Recently, since moving to the U.S., her work has explored gender and race in this country, especially within the Arab American community. Mohammed is a senior TED Fellow and her photographs have been featured in The Guardian, Le Monde, The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, National Public Radio and CNN.

Through her role as a photographer, Mohammed advocates for the rights and dignity of those voices often overlooked by the media demonstrating the power of visual journalism to foster empathy and understand across borders.
