African Americans speak in many tongues but when we speak in our language "Ebonics" it is shunned. Not anymore! There is no need to code-switch because being yourself is how you get ahead and not acting like your oppressor. You all will hear commentary from Amandla Stenberg on code-switching in The Hate U Give and in reality, the powerful words of Sister Souljah and a spoken word on 3 Ways to Speak English by Jamila Lyiscott! Love you for listening! Stay Alert.
