In this episode of Now That We Are Here, weβre talking about something every immigrant has felt but rarely unpacks β codeswitching. From “Hi, good morning!” to “How far now?” in one breath, TundeTASH and FemiShine are joined by amazing guests Gbenga ODDY and Fikayo Aderoju to explore what it means to shift identities to fit into the North American workplace. Because in the diaspora, being understood sometimes means being less yourself. We unpack:
- Using your βprofessional voiceβ on the job
- Hiding parts of yourself just to blend in
- Microaggressions and misunderstandings
- Whether itβs worth it or just draining
