Reflections - What’s In A Name?

Reflections - What’s In A Name?

In this (relatively short) episode, I highlight some of the things I am excited about at the moment, such as finishing grad school and the audiobook narration I'm currently working on titled A Mother's Promise: A Civil War Survivor and Her Pursuit of the American Dream. I also discuss the importance of names as it relates to our cultural heritage, reflect on the 11 years since my dad's passing and how that has molded my perception of the world, and close with gratitude. Thank you for listening!
