In this presentation, we will tackle an old discussion with a new 2020 twist about code-switching – the skill in which one adapts language, demeanor and dialect to survive and thrive inside a dominant culture established by European roots. We will discuss why many Black Americans code-switch, the emotional tax behind it and will examine what a society without code-switching looks like inside of educational and corporate institutions. This will be an interactive discussion so please bring an open mind and your stories.

Revel Lubin, 24, is an experienced advocate for public policy that addresses economically challenged communities and students. As a high school student, Lubin made headlines in 2014 when he founded a Thanksgiving food drive for Oak Ridge High School’s most at-risk families that still occurs yearly at Oak Ridge High School in Orlando. Later, as a first-generation undergraduate student at the University of Florida, Lubin founded a laundry grant program for low-income students that continues to serve UF’s student population today. Additionally, Revel was the inaugural graduate of the Elevation Scholars Program in Orlando, and continues to volunteer with the organization, serving as a role model and advisor for the next generation of Orlando’s future leaders. In 2019, Revel was inducted into the University of Florida Hall of Fame and named a finalist for the Orlando Sentinel’s Central Floridian of the Year Award.
