If you search on Google inclusivity images, you will probably end up with something like this:

Group of colleagues collaborating around a table, with a Black man at the center, engaging in discussion with diverse team members.
Inclusivity search results

…which is perhaps the typical, succinct image most organizations utilize to define diversity in promotional materials and corporate photos. But not enough to call the need to address the complexity of inclusion.
