このコンテンツについて
What’s in a name? For many of us, it’s our beginning. Our legacy. Our first connection to where we come from.
In this episode, Jenny Chen sits down with Onome Ako—CEO, global development leader, and author of I Am Cherished—to talk about how names carry the weight of our culture, our identity, and our worth.
Named one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women, recipient of the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award for Social Change, and a lifelong advocate for global equity, Onome brings both lived experience and deep professional insight to this powerful conversation.
Together, we explore:
– Why names matter far beyond pronunciation
– The pressure to assimilate, and what it costs
– How preserving culture is an act of resistance
– The stories behind our names, and the people who gave them to us
Whether you’ve changed your name, reclaimed it, or are still figuring out what it means to you—this episode will stay with you long after it ends.
