She made this announcement on her Instagram with a heartfelt caption,

I still can’t fully grasp this moment, but I am beyond honored and incredibly grateful to be recognised with this prestigious award. If you had told me just 8 years ago that l’d be standing here, I wouldn’t have believed you. Back then, I was fresh out of law school with a future in law ahead of me, and photography was just a distant dream.
This award is a testament to the power of believing in your art, even when the path isn’t clear. To every artist out there:
Believe in your art. It will take you to places you never imagined, open doors you didn’t think were possible, and help you discover your true purpose. Your voice, your vision, and your creativity matter more than you know.

A huge thank you to the amazing team that brought this vision to life :
