Code switching

Code switching is the survival skill of modulating your language, mannerisms, and presentation depending on who holds power in the room—necessary for safety and advancement, yet a constant tax on authenticity. It becomes reflexive, a second nature built from exposure to spaces where your natural self is a liability.
