Your name is a gift 🎁 ✨ Have you ever wanted to change your name before? When you grow up it can be all too easy to want to change parts of yourself to fit in but ultimately all this can do is take you further away from your most authentic self. Is this something you can relate to? We loved this quote from Alyssa - our names truly are a gift and can be such a prominent source of empowerment. Let us know in the comments if you've ever felt this pressure to change your name and how you handled it. #thatsmyname #CulturalIdentity #FittingIn #StandingOut #Culture #InclusiveCulture
