When she describes inclusion, Brown focuses on the greater context. The historical moments that led to an existing design. The orientation between designers and users. The leaders who initiate wide-sweeping changes. Above all, her lens highlights the key to making inclusive solutions: including the expertise of excluded communities.

When people are excluded by mismatched designs, they grow intimately familiar with the nature of the exclusion and how it might be resolved. Given the opportunity, they can apply this expertise toward building inclusive solutions.

The next chapter demonstrates how someone who understands the mismatch can resolve it in creative ways. And how this differs from a person who tries to make a solution based on stereotypes or benevolent pity for someone they perceive as unlike themselves.
