Dr. Emily Meadows, forthcoming guest on The Shared Note podcast

Coming up… we are delighted to share news of our guest for The Shared Note podcast, Dr. Emily Meadows for Spring 2027!

I was fortunate to attend one of Emily’s conferences in Nagoya, Japan, 2025, on Safety and Belonging. Her impactful and insightful interactive workshops positively influenced the work I do for The Shared Note today.

Emily brings so much heart and expertise to a vital conversation and works with International Schools globally to educate and share crucial information to create and change policies to “effectively affirm and support LGBTQ+ students, colleagues and families.”

Whether you’re an educator with a mind to instigate change or are curious about creating more inclusive spaces in your school, this episode is a must watch and listen.

You can learn more about the important work that Dr. Emily Meadows offers by visiting her website.
