What’s in a name? Our names are a key component of our identities. Yet, in a multicultural society, many individuals may be forced into assimilation behavior, and all too often, that may include de-emphasizing and, in some cases, changing what can be perceived as ethnic names. This workshop shines a light on the pervasiveness of name-changing pressures in society and the importance of embracing our names and identities as a part of cultural healing and heritage reclamation.
