Inclusion means amplifying voices, even if they are a little different or unfamiliar.
An ally is somebody who's going to put your idea forward, who's going to push you and represent you.
A conspirator is someone who is actively trying to help you get to the next level. They're putting risk on themselves, risking their reputation. They're advocating for you on the highest levels.
The first level of [allyship] is being an advocate. An advocate is somebody who promote and say it, but there's no risk in it. You're somebody who's just absorbing and understanding what diversity, equity, and inclusion means.
Focus on what is authentic to yourself and what is something that you're able to compromise.
