Ebonics is not just for AAVE. ✊🏾🌍🇳🇬🇸🇽🇯🇲🇦🇬🇬🇾🇱🇨🇸🇱🇸🇹🇲🇶🇬🇩🇨🇻

white institution like the Oxford English Dictionary redefined a Black man’s work, erased his broader vision and changed Ebonics meaning all together?? This is linguistic erasure.

[Duchess of Brixton ❤️🖤💚☭ @fufuisonme]

This is what we mean when we say anti-Black lingustic racism. Language discrimination is always racialised! This white french colonialiser man should not be Guadeloupe, no creole, no entry!

I made this video about my work in Black linguistics entirely in Yoruba ✊🏾

Language justice also means challenging the dominance of only reading linguistics in European languages. Yoruba like all languages is a language to theorise, create and think in.

Speaking white mainstreamed English will not liberate Black people. April Baker-Bell reminds us that Eric Gardner died stating “I Can’t Breathe”.

[Afro-Creole Languages Week @AfroCreoleWeek]

Our book recommendation for today is Linguistic Justice: Black Language, Literacy, Identity, and Pedagogy by April Baker Bell

[Afro-Creole Languages Week @AfroCreoleWeek]

Our founder had a wonderful time on BBC1Xtra being interviewed by @RichieBrave about the reason why she created Afro Creole Language Week and what language justice looks like for Afro-descendant communities.

[NeoAkan @MeraNkron]

Creoles and Pidgins need to be valued and studied as interfaces used by African people for centuries that to some extent still shape even our local dialects. Not broken english or broken French.

[Duchess of Brixton ❤️🖤💚☭ @fufuisonme]

Wow and that’s a wrap it is officially the end of @AfroCreoleWeek!

Anyway if we all picked up a book, got involved with @AfroCreoleWeek etc etc we wouldn’t have half the diaspora problems that we do and maybe this collective identity you lot want to form so bad wouldn’t look so higgy!
