I recently made an educational resource which went viral on social media. It was really therapeutic to work on this resource over the past month. I’m really tired of people not respecting my name. I thought I’d create a shareable resource so that it can help people and empower. I did many hours of research for this. I called up friends of various ethnicities to ask about their experiences with their name. I made revisions after receiving valuable feedback. Furthermore, I read and researched and found links to a disturbing colonial past. Thank you to those who genuinely make an effort because when you pronounce my name properly, it’s music to my ears 🎶 #LoveYourIdentity You're welcome to share this with your workplace etc. Please credit me. A PDF is available to download. - Download the resource here (free PDF): https://www.anpu.london/name Anpu's personal details: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AnpuLondon Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/AnpuLondon Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnpuLondon More videos about my heritage and identity: My mother tongue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bTwoO-3L4Y&t=195s Family: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkNcC3VWmvo Cheerio!

Sometimes, a single decision can change the course of history. Join journalist and author Isabel Wilkerson as she tells the story of the Great Migration, the outpouring of six million African Americans from the Jim Crow South to cities in the North and West between World War I and the 1970s. This was the first time in American history that the lowest caste people signaled they had options and were willing to take them -- and the first time they had a chance to choose for themselves what they would do with their innate talents, Wilkerson explains. "These people, by their actions, were able to do what the powers that be, North and South, could not or would not do," she says. "They freed themselves."
