That toxic subjects are quite literally valued as less "worthy" 

This image comunicates the gender pay gap amongst black women. By graphically altering the representation of a federally issued $10 bill, the artist behind the image demonstrates the unwqual "value" of black womens labor. 

intersectional discrimination

I read the "doodles" within this image as being purposfully fashioned in a way that calls attention to the labeling of black bodies as "aimless" or lacking direction. By this I mean that I find that the artist's decision to doodle or sketch over an actual $10 bill to speak to the ways in money is devalued for the black body, by being effaced or drawn upon), but also that the physical act of doodling itself, as an informal form of graphic design, and thus the labor of black bodies, as devalued.
