Summary We Are What We Speak is a language-centered TV show that investigates linguistic discrimination in the U.S. It is a major barrier to diversity and inclusion - and yet, it remains largely invisible in public discourse. Through the use of animated visuals and interviews with linguists, researchers, industry experts, and everyday Americans, we will: (1) celebrate the linguistic diversity that makes up the fabric of our nation, (2) unpack how so-called "standard" language ideologies operate and are legitimized in the U.S., and (3) offer realistic strategies to mitigate language bias and advocate for comprehensive language policy reform.
