Code-switching involves adjusting one's style of speech, appearance, behavior, and expression in ways that will optimize the comfort of others in exchange for fair treatment, quality service, and employment opportunities. It has long been a strategy for black people to successfully navigate interracial interactions and even physical survival. While it is frequently seen as crucial for professional advancement, code-switching often comes at a great psychological cost. Dr. Shauna Moore-Reynolds, her co-host therapist Breanna Coleman, and guest Dr. Siohban France discuss how code-switching takes away the identity of African-American women.
