This Is How The Heart Beats cover

This Is How the Heart Beats is a portrait by acclaimed photographer Jake Naughton of a group of East Africans who have fled unimaginable abuse in their homeland for the United States, following this community from its darkest moments to an uncertain future. At a time of great uncertainty for both LGBTQ and refugee rights, this work illuminates the stakes for those at the center of a firestorm.

Praise for This Is How the Heart Beats:
"This Is How the Heart Beats is a hugely powerful, intimate series of images by photographer Jake Naughton that looks to raise awareness around the plight of LGBTQ people in the 32 African countries where same-sex relations remain illegal."
