To Code Switch or Not to Code Switch? That is the Question. | Katelynn Duggins | TEDxMaysHighSchool

Some people are not familiar with how to handle themselves in societal conditions other than what they are used to and they will flop in social and cultural situations or be intimidated. But then there are some people who can maneuver easily in any social and cultural situation and blend in easily because they know understand how to code switch. Katelynn explains when and how to code switch. Katelynn is a senior at Mays High School. She was Raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 2015. Growing up she faced many struggles that have shaped her to be the young woman she is today. Despite her struggles and ridicule by others, she stayed focused on her education and managed to obtain and maintain a spot in the top 10% of her graduating class while successfully balancing many extra curricular activities and strenuous academic courses. Throughout her journey the most important thing to her is staying humble and true to who she really is. She is a member of the BELLES Leadership club and served at Emory University during the summer as a junior intern. She aspires to become a pediatrician. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
