I do not question that the young lady speaks a dialect of English. However, the fact that she does not speak standard American English will limit her and any other person speaking a dialect of English when it comes to getting a job.

People can speak any way they want at home and among their friends but should be aware of the impact a dialect different from standard American English will have on their careers.

Academic studies not withstanding, schools need to communicate these impacts to students. Speaking a dialect of English will not get you in the university or medical school.
