A promotional graphic with "FSNNA 25" in dark boxes at the top left and right corner. Between those two boxes, in all capital letters reads "HEADLINER." Below that, centered and in bold letters reads the name "Alfred L. Martin, Jr."
Below that, on the left it says the name of the headliner panel "Rejecting the Reputed Center of Reception Studies: Blackness, #Capital, and Power" and below that is smaller text it lists the other roundtable guests "Brienne Adams, Aymar Jean Esofferey, & Allyson F. Smith"
To the right of that text is a black and white zoomed in photo of Martin's new book, "Fandom for Us, by Us," which shows a person sitting in front of a wall of TVs, viewed from behind.
