Ohio State research fellow Maggie Dahlstrom is at the center of the image, seen from the shoulders up. They are sitting in a library with book-filled shelves lining the walls and two windows in the background. Maggie has pink hair with bangs and it is pulled back. There are piles of graphic novels about LGBTQ+ youth on a wooden table in front of them.

 Xaviera Simmons sits as she speaks into a microphone in her hand. She is a Black woman with short dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail, wearing a loose white and blue dress and a long pink scarf. To the left, artist Carmen Winant is in partial view, a white woman with long dark hair and a blue polka dot dress, also sitting. Artist Bethany Collins, a woman of mixed race wearing a black top and pants, with hair pulled back into a ponytail, is sitting to the right. Both women are looking at Simmons.
