'Some still #struggle with the idea that their #name is too #foreign , too other. Their #stories were often #triggered by major #GlobalEvents , from #wars and #TerroristAttacks to #protest #movements , that propelled them to #reexamine their #names and #embark on a slow, often #painful #journey to #acceptance . Many have #embraced their #monikers and say it’s time to #reclaim what counts as an #American name.'
