At Momenta, we strive to teach strong storytelling as an essential part of connecting with audiences and allowing the viewer to connect with the subject matter. As Sarah told us after winning the award,

“I’ve thought about working with Momenta Workshops for a few years. When Momenta Workshops announced their Puerto Rico workshop I knew immediately I wanted to sign up. Photographing in Puerto Rico sounded like it would be a great opportunity to have my work help nonprofits get their message out. My hope is that my work could help affect change for the better, however small, for the resilient people of Puerto Rico.”
