It's when you change how you talk, walk, or even laugh just to make white spaces comfortable with your own voice. What's up, you ? Your office voice. Hi, how are you today ? Even how you lab has to shrink because too much joy, too loud. And suddenly you're intimidating. And let's be real. Code switching is exhausting.
