Reflections:

John: It’s useful to think about code switching in context of my own behavior and using it as a practice for increasing empathy by trying to determine if other people are code switching in a certain situation.

Janelle: Putting myself in an outsider situation.

Jess: Storytelling and experience creating.

Astrid: Parents encouraging young creators.

Maurice: We all have more work to do and we all have privileges we are blind to.
