We see the perceived “costs” to not code-switching all the time. Can’t tell you how many young people in our community don’t have the confidence they should bc they didn’t grow up learning secondary speech. Their talents get stifled by “respectability,” despite enormous gifts. — PolitiTweet.org

The good news is that we can improve this easily w/ honest reflection. For ex, are certain hairstyles discouraged in your workplace?Why? Can you think of someone who didn’t advance bc of how they spoke? Why? Examine what’s deemed “unprofessional” around you & adapt it to 2019. — PolitiTweet.org
