“Brotherhood Beyond Blood”

This photograph was taken in the lush green regions of Uttara Kannada District, Karnataka, India—home to communities of African diaspora families who have made this land their own over generations. The image captures a moment of pure joy and warmth between two young boys, not brothers by blood, but bound by a deep friendship that transcends origins. Their embrace and smiles reflect the unspoken bond of kinship, connection, and shared belonging, reminding us that love and brotherhood know no boundaries
