Kai Bouhmad is a multifaceted artist with a diverse background as a travel influencer, photographer, musician, and humanitarian. She is the founder of Black Girls Shoot Too, a community dedicated to empowering Black women and women of color in photography.

Her passion for travel and photography has led her to over 30 countries, where she captures authentic moments and cultural experiences. One of her travel photographs was featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times travel section. Beyond her photography, Kai is a trained classical pianist and vocalist, with experience as a singer-songwriter and studio recording artist.

What began with a single, powerful question—"Where are all the Black women photographers in LA?"—became a movement. In March of 2025, founder, Kai Bouhmad, chose not to wait for a community to appear but to build one herself. Today, Black Girls Shoot Too (BGST) is a vibrant creative space where Black women and WOC in photography connect, create, and let their talents shine.
