The Switch Up

To code switch or not to code switch is the question. Honestly, I don’t think there is always a conscious decision to sound a certain way. Minorities tend to adjust speech and behavior to fit the situation in order to avoid profiling and negative perceptions. To code switch is therefore a deliberate balancing act that can become a welcomed strength of character that enhances maturity and appreciation of communication in all of its forms. It is a masterful skill that can positively affirm one’s identity.? However, code switching works both ways. There are some people who aren’t able to make the adjustment when they are in more structured settings and then there are some people who have a more difficult time adjusting to urban settings. Where do you fall when it comes to the switch? Let's talk about it!!! ?
