Zanele Muholi es fotógrafa y activista visual. Su trabajo intenta erradicar la intolerancia hacia la sociedad negra homosexual, particularmente mujeres y personas transexuales. Muholi se enfoca en capturar momentos positivos y felices, con un enfoque en la lucha contra la violencia y la unidad, para alentar a la sociedad a unirse como una raza, sin discriminación. En sus propias palabras, su objetivo es "reescribir una historia de negros queer y trans sudafricanos para que el mundo conozca nuestra resistencia y existencia, víctimas del mayor número de crímenes de odio dentro y fuera de Sudáfrica". Somnyama Ngonyama "Save the Dark Lioness" es un examen de las experiencias de los cuerpos negros. Cada autorretrato de la serie es un alter ego que explora una faceta diferente de lo que significa ser negro. “Somnyama Ngonyama existe para cambiar espacios, para cambiar la narrativa. Para ser transparente en los espacios donde la gente ve, pero elige ignorar, la existencia de ese cuerpo negro o cara negra "Zanele Muholi.
