"It's time to change the conversation around 'difficult' names."

Inclusion

Kumail Nanjiani. Saoirse Ronan. Zach Galifianakis. You've already learned how to pronounce these names, right? In this piece by N'Jameh Camara in Teen Vogue, Camara talks about how her Gambian name isn't "hard to pronounce," it's unpracticed. One excellent, powerful way to demonstrate inclusion and show your respect is to learn how to pronounce your colleagues names, and say them. And it’s not just the person who’s name you correctly pronounce who notices- others around you will as well.
