@ikendolomusic: I loved hearing @Abdul El-Sayed say his full name, truly brought tears to my eyes. Being the son of immigrants, a first generation kid, can be isolating. I got made fun of because of my name and I was deeply ashamed for a long time. Even when I overcame that shame I still felt like I had to bend in order to make people feel comfortable. The way Dr. Abdul handles racism and bigotry is masterful, the way he does not shrink from his identity is inspiring, and I know some brown kids are watching him and feeling hope that one day they too can achieve amazing things despite the opposition against them. Congrats Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed!
Oops. I thought she was talking about how he got hotter after he was elected 😂

As a guy from Indiana who was always afraid to say Omar Taib Mohammed Abdulla, it’s nice to see a reminder that our names are awesome.

Same with Peggy Flanagan!!! I posted a clip of her speaking the meaning of her name native language. Right before that she was speaking as part of her accepted speech in her native tongue. It was absolutely amazing. I watched her acceptance speech like four times and I cried the whole side. Every time! It is so powerful!!!!

And we just want the proper pronunciation to be heard. It’s so exhausting to white wash our names to make it easier for others.

I love this. I’d appreciate seeing more perspectives from the children of immigrants. You have such a deep understanding of both cultures.

My dumb ass thought she was proud of him for feeling comfortable enough to say his whole name after he was elected, because I know I was

Your name is beautiful! 💛 one of my favorite things about my previous career was getting to learn the sounds and stories of my clients names in their native tongue. It was such an honor and privilege to get to hold that space with them.
