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

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
