Hello! My name is...

The Yon-Say Podcast Network by Nikkei Rising

Episode notes

In this episode, hosts Yoko and Michelle welcome fellow Yon-Say host Hiro Edeza, and Ethnic Studies student Kiara Konishi. We discuss the origin stories of our names, as well as our relationships to them. We also explore what factors may alter how we and our names are perceived (ie. location, gender). As we dive deeper into “what” our names mean, we ultimately uncover “how” they have impacted our identities.
