54: Codeswitch Real Talk (Part 1 of 2)

In this series, we have a heavy conversation around the topic of.... conversations. More specifically,  how individuals in minority races and ethnicities have to use codeswitching in order to fit in with, gain traction with, or simply get treated equally among dominant groups. Darryl shares his stories about how he first learned codeswitching and now, how he has to do it on a daily basis. This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series, and trust me, you don't want to miss either this week's or next week's episode.
