In a room full of professionals, 2 White women, in completely different conversations made fun of my name.

I introduce myself. "What?!," White woman leans in close my chest where my name tag is. "I would never even know how to read that! [Laughs]"pic.twitter.com/QxwxFtxkFy

You can ask me how to pronounce my name
- but making a show of your discomfort is just White people saying they don't know any #POC.pic.twitter.com/79HjXWjUPn3 replies 25 retweets 104 likes -

I meet new people all the time, so I am forced to watch White people act as if saying my name is an incredible imposition or feat. It isn't.pic.twitter.com/iMK7oRw9XY

(I have been pronouncing how my Venezuelan sister in law would, which sounds like the Colombian pronunciation on YouTube)

I don't mind being asked how to pronounce my name
it's the show & incredulous laughter "Oh, so hard! So strange! Will never say it!"

I take 2 pronunciations: Sue-lei-ka (Spanish) & English (Zoo-lee-kah).
