She says, “Even though my daughter has an African name, I gave her a name that White people could easily pronounce because I didn’t want her going through the painstaking process of having to correct White people each time they said her name incorrectly. That was my entire childhood and early adulthood experience, and because of the agony of correcting people over and over again, I began to shrink myself emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically (i)”
