This quote is EVERYTHING!

However, constantly limiting our expression is suffocating in the long run. I know Standard American English, but I am not going to erase how I speak to make someone else comfortable. Language that is birthed out of adversity, triumph, and pain is beautiful. This is who I am. My language is an extension of me and an extension of the African Diaspora.

This quote is EVERYTHING! Similar to how Standard Jamaican English was birthed out of adversity, triumph, and pain. I resonate with this quote so much.
