"Joining Meri's campaign has been an enriching experience, providing me with in-depth insights and actionable strategies to counter native speakerism biases. It's more than a learning journey - it's a platform for professional growth and an empowering community striving for equity in ELT"

"Before finding TNNS, I had wrongly accepted the fact that being a non native teacher would always be a problem, which I had to deal with and struggle by myself. This space has given me the energy and inspiration to keep fighting discrimination and false perceptions by speaking up"

"I'm such a big fan of Meri's mission and message. I've learned so much about the biases that non-native English speakers and teachers face during their job searches. Meri's fierce advocacy for non-native English teachers like herself has made me aware of my own privilege as a native English speaker and allowed me to reflect on how to be a better ally for non-native teachers."
