Ashanti Muñiz is a New York-based photographer and poet whose work is shaped by a photojournalistic sensibility and a reverence for human connection at the heart of storytelling. She documents moments with quiet attentiveness, capturing stories rooted in the subtle beauty of everyday life.
Her poetry exists as a parallel and equally devoted practice; one shaped by attention, emotion, and the cadence of language. She regularly attends readings, submits her work to literary journals, and has had pieces published, viewing poetry as another way to explore presence, memory, and connection.
Ashanti’s projects are grounded in advocacy and cultural remembrance. Whether through image or word, she aims to hold space for what often goes unseen; uplifting communities, preserving stories, and tracing the subtle ties between people and the natural world. Her work is as much about witnessing as it is about honoring, offering room for reflection and quiet transformation.
