Ethnic Names and Accent Preservation as Acts of Resistance

Episode notes

Names are more than just labels; they carry our history, culture, and identity. In this candid conversation, we share our personal journeys embracing our own names and accents, and how those choices shape how we're navigating belonging, pride, and resistance. We unpack the personal and political weight of preserving ancestral names in spaces that often try to simplify or erase them. By the end, you’ll see why reclaiming your name can be an act of self-affirmation and decolonization.
