¡Hola a todes!
I'm Jamila, Founder of Jamii Linguists. Language & Diaspora is our flagship initiative because I'm a global Black citizen who understands that global movements need multilingual freedom fighters. (I mean, you cain't have an interpreter with you 24/7.)
As a social justice linguist with nearly 20 years of experience, I designed Language & Diaspora to integrate language learning with coalition building among pro-Black folx and the organizations that serve us. Personally, I've worked as a foreign language instructor, a Spanish/English interpreter and translator, and I manage a network of linguists that speak more than 100 languages.
Currently, I speak: Black English (native), Spanglish (native), English (fluent/native), Spanish (fluent/near-native), French (conversational), Portuguese (conversational).
This is what I do: I help people build community - in more than one language! I believe that connected multilingual communities can - and will - help create the changes we need for our neighborhoods, nations, and world! Since, I didn't see many spaces that centered both Blackness and effective language learning strategies - I created one!
