Code-Switching by Erin Onady
What is code-switching? On the simplest level, it is making the switch between speaking one language and another. But as with most things, it goes deeper than that. Do you have a “phone voice” or a way you talk to your boss versus your friends? We code-switch to achieve specific results, to express ourselves in other ways, and sometimes, because we just cannot help it. Or more insidiously, we code-switch to avoid confirming stereotypes.
Check out these resources about being Black and Jewish and code-switching in Jewish spaces. Let’s work together to create safety and inclusivity for all.
