Dr Shawntia Key

Hi, I’m Dr. Key, and I help people understand cultures, whether across the world or across the hallway.

Having visited 14 countries and spent over twenty years in international education, I’ve experienced my share of cultural missteps. My goal is to share my experiences through storytelling, along with the patience and empathy to recover from them!
