SLP Nerdcast · Freeing Language: Black Languaging is Translanguaging · 19 Jan 2026 podcast

I appreciate all of the context that you all are providing. podcast-host

And I'm thinking about podcast-host

People who are listening to this who are maybe podcast-host

New to concepts of translanguaging. podcast-host

Uh, and really interested in moving away from this paradigm. podcast-host

You mentioned in the article that you had once engaged in appropriateness based approaches and have since rejected them. podcast-host

And I wonder if you could share what that process was like. podcast-host

Um, as a means of providing information for how a listener could also follow in those steps and start to reject this paradigm. podcast-host

I love that story. podcast-host

I love that story so, so, so much. podcast-host

And I'm gonna try and unpack tiny, tiny little bits of it to lead us to the next question and topic, which is essentially, which is really looking at justice-oriented culture and how many of us listening are not working in places just like the school you described, where there is a justice-oriented culture. podcast-host

Um what the pieces of your story that I wanna unpack are just kind of taking for granted that power of self-reflection and self-positioning, right? podcast-host

So in that story, you're like, I realize that I what what your experience was that was that could have shifted. podcast-host

the nature of your students' experiences or your coworkers' experiences or your, you know, how other people are experiencing the culture. podcast-host

And I think that that is, you know, we're kind of making the assumption and talking through all of this that for those people for people who are listening, that that is a piece of this, right? podcast-host

That is a huge piece of this is is self-reflection, considering your own positioning. podcast-host

And I wanna podcast-host

Kind of transition that into the interaction between who we are as professionals, the work that we've done within ourselves, and how we're showing up in our classrooms, how we're showing up for our students and interacting with rigid systems that are likely influenced by those concepts of institutional racism, and how we might as professionals podcast-host

show up to, as I say in my notes here, neutralize that to a point where black language can exist and shine and take up space. podcast-host

What can you how can you walk us through what that might look like or how you've experienced that or how a listener might experience that? podcast-host
