I learnt code switching from my mum, the way you grow up seeing how your parents switch depending who’s on the other end of the line it does a lot!!!

This is a beautiful poem. I hadn’t realized that Black British people also code-switch to be considered intelligent or well-spoken. Racial discrimination is pervasive. Sometimes, we forget this because of the constant challenges we face in America. Thank you for sharing. I learned something new today, and I appreciate you.

Fun facts: for linguists, code-switching means to switch between completely different languages (eg Yoruba and English), while style-shifting is between 2 varieties/dialects of the same language (British English and Barbadian English), or between levels of formality (talking to your teacher vs your friends). This is more style-shifting since it’s still technically within the same language (both are varieties of English). Multilingual or multi-dialectal people are more intelligent, cognitively flexible, and use more of their brains than monolinguals who only speak one variety/dialect of English!
