After her daughter is bullied for her West African name, a mother celebrates it, drawing inspiration from other names, music, and things they see on their way home from school. The next day, the daughter finds comfort in her unique name by singing it aloud and inspiring her classmates to sing their names.

Thompkins-Bigelow presents a very relatable problem for many kids with non-Anglicized names.
