Episode 35: Bilingual Playdate

In this episode we talk with Diandra Morse, a social worker and founder of Bilingual Playdate, an Instagram account and online platform that advocates for multilingualism and serves as a resource for bilingual families. Diandra discusses many topics in this interview including their family’s decision to have her non-native Spanish-speaking husband use only Spanish at home, the mental load of bilingual parenting, obstacles to multilingualism in the US, and how race and language intersect to shape her and her biracial children’s experiences with bilingualism.
