In season one, we are focusing on the topic of Code Switching, and how it is an ever-present reality for many of us in the workplace, in school, and in so many aspects of our lives. Yet, one thing is certain when discussing Code Switching: the past informs the present. In episode two, our hosts and special guest host explore the historical roots of code switching and how the concept gained traction throughout history. In this episode, we also take a deep dive into issues surrounding Black hair and how personal grooming policies in schools and in the workplace, can have a disproportionate impact on people who choose to wear their hair in a style that is natural and authentic to them. We also discuss legislative efforts to address this issue. Join us for a walk through the history of Code Switching in episode two!"}
