Person that could be read as a woman with dark skin and short dark brown hair, long-sleeved top, is sitting on a chair next to a table with a cup of coffee and an open laptop, where the screen shows a schematic social media platform. She is waving towards the screen. In the background, her home looks cosy with warm colours, a window, curtain and lamp, and a plant.
