Do you embrace some accents as desirable while rejecting others?Muftiat Oyindamola Adeyi challenges us to embrace a soundscape rich with accents and enjoy them in the same way we enjoy fusion cuisine. Muftiat Oyindamola Adeyi is a Doctoral Candidate in the English at the University of Mississippi, Graduate Instructor, and Writing Consultant.
