Storied Lives Discussion Session

A black silhouette of a woman with her hair in a bun is facing right. Her silhouette overlays 3 silhouettes of increasing size, which are visible to the right and left of her silhouette, overlapping each other. The first is a blue silhouette of a bearded man facing left, then an orange silhouette of a man with short, curly hair facing right, and finally a pink silhouette of a woman wearing a hijab facing left. The word "Storied Lives" is at the bottom of the silhouettes.
