"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear..."
"Home" life and "Work" life are intertwined, as shown by the computer screen and desk taking up a large amount of space. I'm holding my phone, which has a Chinese Duolingo course open, and I'm listening to NPR through my headphones. Continuous learning and exploration is very important to me. My posture / body language is open and engaging, as I'm usually preparing / delivering workshops or dancing to hype myself up. My clothes are colorful and comfy, as fashion isn't an expectation at home. I have a my favorite soda in my hand and one of my favorite TV shows on my computer while I take a break from work. I have a pumpkin decoration on my desk all year round because Halloween and Spooky Season are my favorite times of the year.

When I'm with family / friends
"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear..."
"I listened to this great NPR report the other day..."
"Hey Ashley, I'm heading to the store, do you need anything?"
The Duolingo App has changed to memes, as I love exchanging humor with family and friends through media. I've taken off the headphones and am now sharing with others an interesting report I heard on NPR. The pants have changed to jeans to be more "presentable." I am an only child, and despite my parents being divorced, my family is very tight-knit - therefore, I have a speech bubble of my parents checking in. On my computer screen, I'm looking up fun activities to do in Charlotte (as I like to explore and stay active), and I'm also watching "Whose Line is it Anyway" to prepare for my own improv practice, as I'm on my local improv troupes' "Game Night" team. I'm also thinking about visiting my former foster dog, Annie, at her new home.

How I think people see me
"Oh, another NPR story...does she think she's better than us? Talk about normal things!"
"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear..."
I listened to an NPR report the other day...
"Ugh, there's Ashley posting about how much she loves her job, what a show off!"
"Hey Ashley, I'm heading to the store, do you need anything?"
"SHE'S our instructor? What would a kid like her know about organizational leadership?"
I worry that people think I'm being pretentious, braggadocious, and disingenuous by sharing my work achievements / updates on LinkedIn. I also worry they think I'm elitist or "holier-than-thou" by always talking about NPR, academics, and current events. Everyone thinks I'm happy and bubbly all the time, when (just like everyone else), I'm not. Though it's gotten better over the years, I still experience imposter syndrome when I lead workshops for more tenured, senior leaders in business (as indicated by the thought bubble in the middle).

How I want people to see me asa professional and scholar
"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear..."
"Oh, another NPR story...does she think she's better than us? Talk about normal things!
"Oh wow, I never thought of DEI that way...I need to rethink some things!"
I listened to an NPR report the other day...
"Hey Ashley, I'm heading to the store, do you need anything?"
"Ugh, there's Ashley posting about how much she loves her job, what a show off!"
"She's not a performative ally, she actually cares!"
"SHE'S our instructor? What would a kid like her know about organizational leadership?"
"Cool, Ashley's running this workshop! I've heard good things..."
"Ugh, there's Ashley posting about how much she loves her job, what a show off!"
"Did you see Ashley's latest LinkedIn article?"
I want people to see me as knowledgeable and credible, to not worry or question why I'm the one at the front of the room facilitating their workshop. This is shown through my suit, my TEDx talk on the screen, the sign indicating I'm pursuing an Ed.D, and my "Hello, I'm Credible" nametag. I also want others, whether peers, learners, or folks who participate in my research, to know that I strive to be authentic and action-oriented in my DEI work, not simply a performative ally. I want to change the way people understand DEI (especially those new to the journey). Even though I dislike coffee, I changed my soda to a coffee to appear older and more "adult," but I kept the pumpkin and memes to retain relatability and authenticity, as I don't want to erase who I am or the humor / joy that I try to bring to the spaces around me.

For the final panel, I kept everything the same as the previous panel, however I added an element that I liked from the assigned article "A Layering of Selves: Bias, Subjectivity, and Paper Dolls" - a group of "diverse and empowered co-researchers in the scenes." (Shelton Jones, 14) I put these figures over everything else as a reminder to take less of a self-centered "reflection" lens, and more of a outward-looking "reflexive" lens. The lightbulb represents new realizations, knowledge, and perspectives gained from this.
