This is the kind of indoctrinated scum you find on the left. The blacks with their racist agenda's. The typical race chasers that blame the failure of black culture and democrat plantation policies on others. The one's that have zero interest in family, church, or Christian values...

I love irony.
She says you need "Sophistication in your language", and she does so with a glaring 6th grade grammatical error.
The phrase "write and speak" is a conjuctive phrase and the conjunction "and" joins the verbs write and speak. Therefore, it is handled as a single entity to be separated on its own and her sentence requires an additional "and" between "vocabulary, " and "how".
She must be self-educated as well as self-proclaimed.
Hers: "Sophistication in your language, your vocabulary, how you write and speak is very important.'
Correct : "Sophistication in your language, your vocabulary, and how you write and speak is very important.'
Yes, I know this is quite nit-picky, but she walked right into that and deserves it.

I have to disagree with Dutz. Make no mistake - the sentence is poorly phrased. Where I differ is I think she combined two sentences using a comma instead of a semi-colon. I don't think the 'how you write and speak' is another clause or two in the conjunction but is a separate sentence referring back to the sophisticated language and vocabulary flourish.
Hers: 'Sophistication in your language, your vocabulary, how you write and speak is very important.'
Correct : 'Sophistication in your language, your vocabulary; how you write and speak is very important.'
It's even possible she didn't mean to create a conjunctive sentence at all but she was trying to just use flowery language and is a member of the put-a-comma-where-you-pause-when-saying-the-sentence-out-loud club ('Sophistication in your language <pause> your vocabulary <pause> how you write and speak is very important.'). That probably sounded very poetic to her and this is how it came out in writing. Doesn't make it correct though.
If she meant for her sentence to have three or four clauses then first she is a fool who doesn't believe in the Oxford comma. Structurally Dutz is correct but that change alone doesn't make it a better sentence. With the conjunctive sentence the clauses should all use a similar form. Her first two clauses use the 'your [noun]' form so should any remaining forms.
Better: 'Sophistication in your language, your vocabulary, your writing, and your speaking/speech/? is very important.'
Somebody with a thesaurus can probably come up with a better word than 'speaking'. 
And yes, this is really nit-picky...

I am going to have to disagree with part of your disagreement.
"Sophistication in your language, your vocabulary; " is a sentence fragment. The word Sophisticated is capitalized, so we must assume it is the beginning of the sentence.
Even if it was intended to be two sentences, i.e. something like "You need sophistication in your language and vocabulary; how you write and speak is very important." you still need an "and" instead of the comma between language and vocabulary, and you need a subject and verb.
Having said that, "You need sophistication in your language and vocabulary; how you write and speak is very important." is a much stronger sentence and I agree that it does sound like what she was really trying to say. You were able to infer that despite her lack of sophisticated language usage. Your reading is more sophisticated than her writing.
It must be a really slow news day here.

This is as bad as the moose who went on Twitter and said the deputy deserved it because he had creepy eyes. That moose has since been arrested due to an open warrant in her name for assault. Karma is a *****!
