Summary
On this week’s MiniPod, African American Vernacular English (AAVE) explained by our hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum.
Are you on code?? We got a question from the creator of NLP’s theme song (see his credit at the bottom of this description) that sparked a larger conversation about ebonics, African American English. PLUS a bonus question about how to become a politician.
What does “on code” mean to you? Leave us a comment–or better yet, check out this tutorial and send us a video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/
Welcome home y’all!
