Lola Akinmade Åkerström: National Geographic Photographer of the Year, Nigerian Rugby Player and More
I remember that day clearly. Walking up onto that muddy rugby pitch. Burly men stopped playing and watched in silence as I approached them. They peered down at me as I stopped within their midst. “I am Lola,” I introduced myself. “I know you don’t have a women’s rugby team but I will help you start one.”
