Business

A collage of three black and white photos. The top left photo shows a Black woman with large hoop earrings giving a presentation. An illustration of a yellow speech bubble is placed close to her mouth, overlapping the photo on the right, while three yellow star illustrations overlap the left side of the photo. The centre-bottom photo shows the back of a man in a suit and briefcase as he is walking across a road painted with blue and white stripes. On the top right, three concrete business buildings with floor to ceiling windows are unevenly stacked next to each other. A fourth photo on the bottom right shows a group of office workers standing around a table, with everything coloured in red tones, except for the man in the centre, who is in black and white and appears to be gesturing at the documents laid out on the table. On the bottom left, there is an illustration of a line chart.
