A collage of heart-shaped photos on a magenta and white background. The photos show various women smiling and interacting in different settings, including what appears to be some at events and casual gatherings. In the center is a black text overlay that reads 'Let this be a love letter to every Black woman who has ever doubted her worth or wondered if she deserves to rest.' Some photos show women wearing matching green shirts, others in casual and professional attire. One image includes a sign for 'The Museum.' The overall design creates a warm, celebratory mood with its heart motifs and vibrant magenta color scheme
