Say my name
As I get older, I become wiser. I’m also understanding that the words I use are very powerful. Words are indeed power. With them, you can create what wasn’t there before. I also know there is power in a name.
I love that my African heritage places great emphasis on the power of a name. This is why you should not allow anyone to mispronounce it. I have been guilty of this before. However to mispronounce it means to lose its power.
My name in Igbo means “beautiful”. As I am on the journey to an epic and awesome life, I am going to live in the power of that name. The power of living beautifully. I will continue to leave my mark by beautifying the world with my presence.
