“The power of a name is an affirmation of one’s worthiness. To pronounce a name incorrectly is giving lazy, and it’s serving, I’ma call you what I want to call you, and I don’t care if this is embarrassing. Calling somebody by their name is doing the basic work of being able to empathize with what it is like for someone who has historically been stereotyped or dismissed because of their name. It is powerful work to insist that you say my name correctly. It is equally revolutionary for you to be intentional and careful with people about their name.”
