A drawing of a Black woman standing next to a movie poster featuring a pirate holding a noble woman close and brandishing a sword. The Black woman is wearing a red jacket, black and white shirt, and dark jeans. Her natural hair is tied up with a teal scarf. The text on the fake movie poster reads: Sarah A. Macklin is... Looking For Work. hiresarahamacklin@gmail.com. The website sarahamacklin.com is in graffiti near the bottom of the wall.
