“Know that there is no demand, no pressure, to speak or not to speak. To not speak does not mean you have some kind of debilitating silence, or that you are shattered within. It is possible to speak through silence, to use the pieces of our fragmented past to make new worlds.”

“Names are indelible markers of our histories. When we are asked to change our names, we are being asked to erase our histories. But names are more than this, too - they move across our relations. The difficulties in pronouncing our names can create intimate moments, can move casual encounters to sudden struggles to listen and understand each other. our names are offerings for these intimacies. When a stranger finds our names too difficult or unintelligible to even try to pronounce, we have learned all we need to know about them.”
