A thank you card from Jennifer White-Johnson. The front of the postcard sized card is features large centered black text that reads [YOU’RE / AMAZING!], with medium and small, centered text below that reads [THANK YOU, IN SOLIDARITY, JEN / jenwhitejohnson.com]. The background is hot pink and features a faded, darker hot pink, photographic image of Jennifer White-Johnson and Kevin “Knox” Johnson III. Both White-Johnson and Johnson are depicted from the neck up. White-Johnson has her back to the viewer and Johnson is shown in profile on her proper right side, facing his mother. Both are cast in shadow, obscuring their features. Johnson has his proper left arm draped over his mother’s shoulders. White-Johnson’s hair has been pulled up into a top knot. The back of the card is white with black text and graphics. The text is printed at the top center and to the left of the graphic in varying sizes and fonts that reads [Thank you for your purchase! / Your support means everything to me. / Your existence means everything to me. / Much love & Con mucho amor, / jen / @jtknoxroxs]. On the right is a graphic of the Neurodiversity Solidarity Fist symbol designed by White-Johnson that combines a Black Power fist, overlaid with a white infinity symbol on the palm and wrist.
