In this video Jamila Lyiscott explains how she speaks English in three ways she considers as a linguistic celebration. For example, she states that she is “tri-lingual” because she speaks three tongues at home, at school, and with friends. She explains how she has to treat all three languages as equals. This makes her articulate in a way that she can express and communicate with anyone because she can speak intellectually, hood, and professional. This shows how it is a linguistic celebration for her because she is able to apply what she knows throughout her everyday life in an effective way. Despite having to speak three ways in English because of the world we live in now, this doesn’t make her forget that her language was raped away along with her history.

How are writing and empathy similar?
Writing and empathy are similar in multiple ways. For example, they are similar in the way of understanding someone’s circumstances verbally. If someone writes something to you to show how much they understand the situation that you are coming from it relates to empathy because that person was able to put themselves in your shoes to comprehend exactly what you are going through. Writing and empathy are also similar in the way of expressing how someone feels throughout the certain situation that they are going through, which is something that you can express in writing or in person.
What is the value of empathy?
Empathy has many values. The value of empathy can be caring for one’s problems or difficult situations. The value of empathy can also be the way we are able to connect with others and share the same experiences in order to show support and the fact that you understand what the person is going through. Empathy can also be looked as something that we all need in life so that as a human being we can feel like we are not alone in this world, fighting against battles or problems that others may have never encounter, so is a good thing to show empathy to others. Showing empathy can also be very helpful in terms of how a person feels within themselves after having a connection with someone else.
