Still, I think one of the most important things is:
Can I feel that it’s okay for me to be here?
Can I feel, through how the group interacts with me, that I exist here, I am acknowledged?

That feeling — or the lack of it — affects so many parts of our being.

But what does it really mean to "include" different cultures, languages, ways of doing things, or different abilities?
Who is including whom?
Even the worldview behind this idea can be very different, and aligning those perspectives isn’t easy.
