National Geographic Creativeさんのインスタグラム写真 - (National Geographic CreativeInstagram)「Photo by @nicholesobecki Portrait of Raymond Brian, a Ugandan refugee and a non-binary person who goes by the name of Mother Nature, outside the safe house they helped found in a Nairobi suburb. Like several others in the house, Mother Nature had been approved for resettlement to a third country before the coronavirus crisis hit and all travel was put on indefinite hold. Scroll to the second frame to meet Chris Wasswa, who goes by the name Tina, sharing a quiet moment with his boyfriend of nearly two years. Both Mother Nature and Tina are among the nearly 500 migrants in Kenya (and more than 3,000 across Africa and 10,000 worldwide), who have been left in limbo by the pandemic. For gay and transgender Ugandan refugees in Kenya, such delays comes with immediate risks. “The delay was really traumatizing,” said Mother Nature, explaining that their community has also had to grapple with rising homophobia as fear and uncertainty around the virus leaves people searching for someone to blame, however unfairly. Now, restrictions on resettlement are lifting, and those waiting to rebuild their lives are once again allowing themselves to hope.
