[Image Description: The video opens with Council de Manos' 5th Biennial National Conference 2017 logo. The logo is on the left side of the screen; a single California poppy leans to the right with its green leaves and stem following. The poppy is gradient orange. The poppy's roots is represented by a hand with roots extending into the ground. The hand's skincolor is light brown with slight gradient green where the poppy's stems meet the hand. To represent the theme of Breaking Barriers the California poppy breaks through a gradient grey concrete with pieces of the concrete in the air.  The screen pans back to show the entire logo showing three California poppies and two hands holding beneath the broken concrete.  Roots extended from the clasped hands outwards. Susan Gonzalez is wearing a black shirt. Susan’s chest tattoo is visible. Susan has long dark colored hair with the left side tucked in behind her ear. She wears square black glasses. The background is in lime green; a corner of a painting is visible at the top right corner.]
