Ryan Calais Cameron found success as an actor, but grew tired of being typecast as a drug dealer or gangster. He began creating his own stories that challenged racist stereotypes. British artist Alison Lapper never painted her son Parys in life, believing him ‘too beautiful’ to capture. But after his death, he began to appear in her canvasses. Stany Nyandwi's rescued chimps helped him through conflict and loneliness during Burundi's civil war.
