Inclusion isn’t always about grand gestures. Sometimes, it can begin in the smallest of moments.

Inclusion Moments is a collection of short stories and reflections drawn from the lived and professional experience of the author, Poggy Murray Whitham, from the world of engineering and beyond, seen through their perspective as a Black, Queer, Disabled, and Autistic person.

Each Moment captures how small biases, barriers, or acts of allyship can have a large impact on someone’s day, career, or even life, and offers practical ways to respond with empathy and action.

From being spoken over in meetings to having your expertise doubted because of your identity, the emotional labour of having to educate others, and small actions that really can make a difference, these stories blend honesty, vulnerability, and insight to help readers take meaningful action towards inclusion.

Inclusion Moments invites you to pause and reflect on what inclusion really means in practice. Whether you are a leader, an ally, an advocate, or simply someone wanting to do better, this book is a very human and practical guide to creating more inclusion moments in any community.
