“Inclusion is not just about giving everybody a place. It’s about ensuring that they never have to fight for one.” – Stephanie Egharevba, Mastercard Foundation

Exclusion isn’t always loud—it’s in spaces designed without certain people in mind. A student with a disability struggles with accessibility. A woman in tech working twice as hard yet overlooked. Exclusion is our problem. Progress depends on building doors wide enough for everyone, amplifying voices, and ensuring no one has to fight for a seat at the table. Inclusion isn’t optional—it’s the future, and it starts with us.  Is this a quote? No
