Yerp or Yert. Out Of Pocket or For Real For Real. Death and life is in the power of the tongue. The lingo and the language of our people has been scrutinized and judged by other groups and cultures against their “norms”. In this powerful conversation we discuss the nuances in languages, labels, perception, culture and community. Marvin Malone’s compelling TED Talk on Speaking to the Crowd inspired us to dive deeper into how language defines and creates community. And through doing so, the duality of how culture creates language and language creates culture.
