She emphasizes the importance of supporting one another and becoming allies in promoting workplace inclusion. Additionally, the book examines the need to confront structural barriers that perpetuate inequities within organizations, which hinder true inclusion.

The ultimate goal is to empower individuals to contribute positively to workplaces characterized by mutual understanding, compassion, and affirmation, harnessing the diverse talents of all employees.
