Shaniqua and Stephanie explore how language influences identity, fuels innovation, and reinforces or resists power structures, from corporate jargon to code switching, and political rhetoric to emojis. We unpack how our words shape culture, policy, connection, and control. Elevating insights inspired by linguists, neuroscientists, and everyday experiences, this conversation reveals why language is one of the most potent tools for transformation.
