Montreal-based artist Dorothy Mombrun is a powerhouse in visual storytelling, showcasing the vibrancy and resilience of black women and femmes. Since 2016, she's honed her craft, using bold colors and expert use of light and shadow to empower her subjects.

Driven by her own journey to self-acceptance, Mombrun rejects negative stereotypes, aiming to uplift her community through her lens. She curated her first exhibition, "Aynalem: l'Oeil du Monde," in 2022, followed by "Be You" in collaboration with Hoodstock Montreal and the CARE project in 2023-2024. Her latest exhibit, "Soulful Embrace: An Ode to Love," showcased at la maison de l'Afrique last February.

In addition to exhibitions, Mombrun facilitates cultural discussions and mentors youth in photography and entrepreneurship. She's also a familiar voice in podcasting, co-hosting episodes on "Mots-à-Mots" and "That Feminist Podcast," while making frequent guest appearances on arts and culture shows.

Mombrun recently earned her Bachelor's degree in journalism from Concordia University and served as Photo Editor at The Link Newspaper (2023-2024). Her dedication to storytelling, mentorship, and advocacy makes her a trailblazer in both photography and cultural activism.
