Mikaela and Elisia were peers in their MSW program at Baylor University. During their time together in class, they recognized that they were code switching. They recognized they wanted to change these spaces by showing up authentically, and not fitting into the stereotypical narrative. Which led to the creation of Switching the Code, where they wanted to create a safe place to talk about these taboo and stigmatizing topics, and doing it true to themselves. Switching the Code is about two women who were tired of trying to fit it, and decided to talk about it.
