(Answer) Jamila Lyiscott in the TED video called “3 ways to speak English,” talks about or rather raps about how he loquaciousness is affected by her upbringing. She delves deeper than her upbringing and talks about the history of her race and ethnicity and how it affected the way she and members of her family speak English.

Lyiscott talks about the dynamics of language and how her ethnicity is evident in the words she uses and the way she talks. She implies how people might try to insult her uniqueness by applying a euphemism by calling her “articulate.” In fact, the people who call her articulate are simply alarmed by how unusual her speech might be.

Lyiscott explains that the English language could have many perspectives depending on the other languages you speak and your history. That is why she says that people find her perspective of the language unique. Lyiscott says that the British might find the “well-spoken” American quite “articulate”, just the white Americans might find her “articulate.”

Furthermore, she calls for a change in the academic structure. A change where ethnic history is not silenced and ethnic language is no more an anomaly.
