Inein, Zainab and Soumik are not alone.
Our #MyNameIs campaign resonated with so many people.
Thousands of people liked, shared, commented and spoke out about the experiences they had faced. Many of the experiences were similar; it was hurtful. After all, your name is more than just a name. It's part of your heritage, identity and pride.
Importantly, thousands of people helped raise awareness of a solution to a micro-aggression that so many people had been the victim of.
Simply introducing phonetic spellings as standard practice will help avoid those uncomfortable moments and ensure nobody is disrespected, under-valued or feels like they don't belong.
But we do not want this to simply be another campaign that has a "shelf-life".
Our #MyNameIs Fuh-Net-Tic Filter is changing, but 94% of people still believe in the #MyNameIs campaign and the tool. So, our goal remains the same. After all, your name is more than just a name.
