Episode description
Do you have a corporate persona for white audiences? While this is not uncommon for some people, some may actually go as far as to give it a name. This is a level of code switching. It extends beyond simple enunciation and grammar to encompass tone, language style and mannerism. Some view it as a necessity for survival in professional settings. A way of disarming the majority to gain a seat at the table. But really, these personas are just a mask. A disguise used in hopes of gaining acceptance in circles where we’re considered an “other”. While it may feel helpful in less diverse spaces, it actually causes more harm. So today we’re discussing why we recommend killing the Code-switch.
