A Black woman (me), wearing silver jewellery and a blue-and-white print dress, sits on a stone bench writing in a journal with my back to the camera. On the bench next to me, a portion of a dark-blue, hardcover spiral notebook with a photo of two brown seashells on a white background is visible. Tufts of green grass peek from below the bench.
