EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the resilience and strength of a Kenyan woman during the era of colonialism. Taken in 1936, it showcases a coffee picker working on a plantation in Kenya while carrying her baby on her back. The image is a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by African women who labored under difficult conditions to sustain their families. The woman's determination is evident as she navigates through rows of coffee trees, carefully selecting ripe cherries with one hand while cradling her child with the other. Her stoic expression reflects both the physical demands of her work and the love she has for her child. This photograph serves as a window into an early chapter of Kenya's history, when British colonial powers exploited its natural resources for economic gain. It sheds light on the labor-intensive process involved in coffee farming and highlights the integral role played by Kenyan workers. The photographer from The Granger Collection beautifully captures this moment, freezing it in time for us to reflect upon. This image stands as a testament to not only this particular woman's strength but also that of countless others who worked tirelessly under challenging circumstances. As we view this photograph today, let us remember and honor those whose hard work laid the foundation for Kenya's present-day prosperity.
