Code Switching - Being POC in the Corporate World (Part 1)
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
In a world which you are expected to fit in a box, many people of color, African Diasporan, and indigenous people have consciously and subconsciously relied on cod-switching to survive in a colonized culture. Some code-switch inadvertently that they will slip into a different language or accent without even realizing it or intending to do it. Most code-switch to survive in corporate and commercial environments for their livelihood.
Code-switching is often seen as a double edge sword that many experience negative situations due to their code-switching or being told that they talk "white."
The Moana Nui Podcast hosts a line-up of panelists to discuss the ins and outs of code-switching, positive and negative experience around code-switching, and how to still be your authentic self in the corporate world.
Host - Barr Foxx

Moana Nui Podcast is proud to present Pele, Goddess of Fire in her very own comic series! In this episode, we talk to Chris Koanui the founder and CEO of Mana Comics who is the creator of Hawaiiʻs popular comic book imprint.
Pelehonuamea is one of the most feared and respected gods of Hawai'i. Pele is the mother of the red earth, goddess of volcanoes, and is also known as she who devours and shapes the land. This story, set in present day, shows Pele wandering Hawai'i in a world she does not recognize. Humans have desecrated the islands in the name of progress and she finds her heart filled with utter disdain. How could mankind allow all this destruction to happen to her home?
Meanwhile Boraz, a new god from the North, is on a bloody quest to dethrone and destroy false gods claiming he alone is the one true god! Boraz's rampage has thus far been unstoppable and with his sights set on the Hawaiian islands will Pele intervene or will she turn her back on the islanders as she feels they have turned their backs on her?
