Where they come from

Most of them come from Nappy, a stock library built to put more Black and Brown people into media. Newer pages also use photographs by #WOCinTech Chat, published on Wikimedia Commons, which show women of color in tech workplaces. Photographers are named on each image and in the list below. Where a photograph was uploaded without a credited photographer, the library is named instead.

Why this source

This practice teaches facilitation to first-generation professionals and to the organizations that employ them. A page of stock photography showing one kind of professional tells a reader the advice was written for somebody else, and it would contradict the work. Nappy exists to close that gap, and #WOCinTech Chat was made for the same reason, so they are the libraries this site draws from.

What these photographs are not

Nobody pictured on this site is a client, a course participant, a student or a member of this practice. Nobody pictured is connected to any fact, figure, story or outcome on the page the photograph appears on. The photographs illustrate a topic and break up long text. They are not evidence of anything, and neither the photographers nor the people pictured endorse this practice.

How they are licensed

Nappy publishes its photographs under the Creative Commons Zero license, set out on its own license page. That permits commercial use, modification and redistribution with no attribution required. Credit is given here because the photographers did the work and because Nappy asks that they be credited, not because the license compels it.

Photographs from Wikimedia Commons by #WOCinTech Chat are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license. That license requires credit to the photographer and a link to the license, so every one of these photographs carries both, on the page and in the list below. I cropped and resized them and changed nothing else.

Some #WOCinTech Chat photographs appear in both places. Where an entry below says “#WOCinTech Chat on Nappy,” the photograph was taken from Nappy, which lists it under the Creative Commons Zero license shown above. Where an entry says “#WOCinTech Chat on Wikimedia Commons,” it carries the original Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license and the credit it requires. Either way, the photographer or collective is named.

What was changed

Each photograph was cropped to a single 16:9 frame and resized into three widths so that a phone downloads a small file and a large screen downloads a sharp one. A vertical anchor point is set per image so that faces survive the crop. Nothing else was altered. No filters, no color changes, no retouching, no compositing.

Everything else on the site

Photographs of McKinley Malbrough III are of him. Course covers, product images in the store and diagrams are renderings made for this site rather than photographs. The mark and wordmark belong to Online Facilitation Skills, the teaching arm of Urban Human Resources. No image on this site is AI-generated. If that ever changes, the caption will say so and so will this page.

Reporting a problem

If you are pictured in one of these photographs and want it removed, or you believe a credit here is wrong, write to info@onlinefacilitationskills.com. It will be taken down or corrected, and you will not be asked to explain why.

Every photograph, by page

Listed alphabetically by page title. Each entry gives the description read aloud by a screen reader, the photographer, the license and the change made.
