  • Welcome to the 252nd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. This month, we're exploring the theme "Why Pushback?"

    Last week, we discussed the pushback against diversity initiatives, focusing on the knee-jerk response of "We can't afford that" and the important distinction between cost and value.

    This week, we're turning our attention to a different form of pushback: the constant need for many of us to correct the pronunciation and spelling of our names.

    In today’s show on That's Not My Name!About my TEDx Talk. [00:43]What is name pronunciation? [01:45]Colonization's impact on names. [04:44]Examples of name reclamation. [06:00]How to handle name mispronunciation. [12:11]Quotes on That's Not My Name!Name pronunciation is about being able to pronounce someone’s name.Names have a particular meaning.Many people know the meaning of their names and the weight they carry within their culture.We can’t all know every language.Pronouncing people’s names correctly really matters.Resources on That's Not My Name!Anpu's LinktreeUnderstanding the importance of name pronunciationEpisode #51 A Writer’s Journey With Mahsuda SnaithContact me to work together on mental health support at work.Join my Mailing List and receive a white paper on mental health and inclusion hereCheck out my TEDx talk: The Connection between Culture, Race and Mental HealthLeave me a message on my SpeakPipeWork with me
