4 panel greyscale comic drawn in ink in a simple style. Panel 1: A box says "Many times throughout childhood, various adults said" A small girl with long hair and a fistful of papers has their back to the page while an adult woman with curly, shoulder-length black hair, a long-sleeved blouse, and trousers leans on a table, 3/4 facing the kid, and says "You would make a great lawyer as a grownup."

One, the girl from the first panel, grins over her shoulder at the woman, with her mouth open and a mischievous look on her face, and holds up a cat hand puppet. Behind her another girl with dark curly hair limply holds another hand puppet with yarn hair and an X for a mouth. The woman is saying "You'd be a great lawyer." Panel 3: A corner of a man's head, facing mostly away from the viewer and is facing the same girl, now a teenager with a t shirt, plaid skirt, striped arm bands, and a messy updo.

Panel 4: The back side of two hands (belonging to two different adults) frame either side of the frame. In the middle of the frame, the girl (older than in panels 1-2, younger than in panel 3) looks up with a questioning expression at the adults the hands belong to, while holding open a book. A box reads: "Which, I think, is a creative way of calling a child a bitch." (The book cover, barely legible and with some letters cut off, reads: "It's a beautiful day in KY and you're a terrible child."

4 panel comic. In panel 1, a smiling woman with braids tells Meg, a blank-looking woman with glasses standing behind an espresso machine, “Meg, you’re my spirit animal!” In panel 2, a close-up on Meg—looking mildly distressed while text about cultural appropriation and incorrect uses of the phrase ‘spirit animal’ are faded behind her head; she thinks “that (usage) can’t be right.” panel 3: close-up on the smiling woman with the words as the words “cherokee coworker” appear behind her—reminding Meg that she can’t and shouldn’t say anything about the phrase to an indigenous gal. panel 4: Behind the counter, the girl with braids says “hi!” to an anonymous customer. Meg holds out a paper cup to the customer while thinking: “well, not my place to comment 🤷🏻‍♀️”

Two tidy and chill looking women, a blonde and a brunette, stand on the left side of a comic panel at 3/4 towards the audience; they stand opposite a brunette woman with long unkempt hair, glasses, and a long trench coat, who stands in profile--facing the other women. The blonde asks the disheveled woman: "How was that conference you went to?"

The disheveled woman faces 3/4 towards the audience and shrugs with one hand in the air, the other in her pocket, and says: "Well, it was a conference for underrepresented groups, and I'm a white woman who passes as..."

A close-up of the disheveled woman whose eyes widen behind her glasses as she frowns. The word "WAIT" is written large behind her.
