There are two rows of four AS team members in this collage. Top from left to right, Nicole a white genderqueer human with glasses holds up a glass bowl of wild violets, Heather a white soft butch woman with short gray hair and black glasses holds up three orange roses and raises an eyebrow winningly, Carmen a Black woman with curly hair glasses and hoop earrings who is also wearing a cute bandanna tied in a bow at the top of her head is holding up a bouquet of small pink flowers and smiling with her eyes over them, and Tracy and Mia who are our Yikes tech team hold up a bouquet of spring flowers - Tracy has short black hair and a nose piercing and is asian, Mia is wearing a beanie and has a gray bob. On the bottom left to right, Vanessa a white woman with long brown hair wearing sunglasses and a pink outfit is posing near a bounty of pink blossoms on a tree her head raised in a blissful expression, Dani a Black woman with curly Black hair and large vintage inspired glasses gazes at the viewer with lips slightly parted while holden a bouquet of flowers in various shades of yellow that also match her gold top, Casey a white woman holds her baby who is smiling softly while Casey smiles broadly in front of a single red tulip, and Shelli a Black woman with long black hair and a nose piercing smiles playfully over a single white rose.
