Nnemoma Chukwumerije, Co-Founder of <a href="//www.thebeconsultancy.com">The Be Consultancy</a>, dives deep into the importance of accepting ALL names. Even if a&nbsp;name sounds foreign or difficult to pronounce, the effort made to understand those&nbsp;names can be the difference between making someone feel welcomed or marginalized. Nnemoma goes through her&nbsp;experience with how&nbsp;others have encountered her&nbsp;Nigerian name,&nbsp;her locs, and appearance. Can an individual proudly represent their culture in the U.S. without judgement or discrimination? What perceptions tie in with our name or appearance in the eyes of our fellow Americans?
