  It's About Language, with Norah Jones

  S6E10: Language, Identity, and the Power of Reclamation with Jennifer Ptesanwin Weston

  Jul 23, 202657 min

  Have you ever felt the weight of language expectations? Here’s how it shaped my journey: Tag someone who’s navigating identity through language! Growing up, I was often caught between two worlds. In a predominantly white high school, my voice felt out of place. At home, I was too ‘white’ for my peers. It took time, but I learned that blending these experiences made my perspective unique. Language is powerful. It can connect, liberate, or even isolate. I realized that our differences in language and culture are not limitations but strengths. In my teaching, I emphasize the beauty of every dialect and the importance of understanding various backgrounds. It’s crucial to recognize and respect each other's voices and stories. Let’s celebrate our human diversity! Full insights in the link in bio.

  S6E7: Onward Together: The Energy Behind Language Advocacy & Collaboration with Joy Peyton

  Apr 30, 202645 min

  There’s a noticeable shift happening in language education—and it starts with where people are choosing to focus their attention. Instead of centering on challenges, Joy Peyton reflects on the energy she experienced at Language Advocacy Days, where educators, students, and advocates came together to share what’s working. From stories of collaboration across schools to the growing presence of multilingual young people, this conversation highlights a movement that is gaining momentum. Language learning is no longer confined to classrooms—it’s alive in communities, shaped by real experiences, and strengthened through connection. As Joy puts it, the future depends on recognizing every contributor as an equal partner and moving forward together.
