Fahmida Azim, an illustrator and author of Bangladeshi origin, has recently won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize.
She has been given the honor for decorating an illustrated report titled "How I Escaped a Chinese Internment Camp", which was published by the Insider website on 28 December, 2021.
Fahmida is only the second person born in Bangladesh to have won the Pulitzer Prize, which is considered to be the most prestigious award in journalism and publishing.
