Every design leader and those who care about our design communities need to read this book (and plan to reread every so often). Sameera’s personal experience paired with her research provides an incisive view into the current state of our industry and how we can improve it. You may know some of these facts or methods to be more inclusive, but this book pulls it all together. Think of it as a manual to improve your view, your team and your business step-by-step.

Those outside of design would be well served to read it as well. So many of the facts and methods apply to every group—see the hiring process for a great example of something that can be changed company-wide.

(Disclaimer: the author is a friend of mine) Something I love about this exploration of inclusion is that Sam references her own mistakes and learning experiences. Many people are afraid of making mistakes and thus don’t try or become defensive. Sam has been vulnerable enough to demonstrate that receptiveness to feedback and thoughtful progress—not perfection—are key to building more inclusive communities.
