Felicia begins her keynote speech at the Reuvensdagen in Hoorn, the Netherlands, November 2023. She is wearing a blue dress and standing at a white lectern. In front of the lectern is a bouquet of red, orange, and purple flowers and green leaves. Behind her is the first slide of her presentation. The title reads "Archaeology, Ethics, and Society: Exploring Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Context".
