Slide 1: Over a dark teal background, header text reads “Honoring Alice Wong.” Below the header text is a collage digital portrait by Jennifer White-Johnson, featuring Alice Wong, an Asian American woman in a wheelchair with a tracheostomy at her neck connected to a ventilator. She’s wearing a pink plaid shirt, pink pants, and a magenta lip color. She is smiling and behind her are a bunch of tall prehistoric looking plants. She is surrounded with red-orange, yellow, and white flowers and behind it a grainy lavender shaded background. Photo credit: Allison Busch Photography.
