In this special episode of The Warrior Queen Podcast, Swati Bhise welcomes family and friends onto the show to speak about a very important part of everyone’s identity: their name. Rinarisa DeFronze, Aditya Bhise, Amie Garrett, and Bharat Bhise all provide personal insight on how to pronounce their unique names and how it informs their social interactions. Swati then speaks upon the cultural significance of names, identity, and why settling for a “nick name” isn’t always worth the cost. No one should ever feel ashamed for wanting the respect of being called by their name.
