Cristina Martinez de Andino.
My name communicates part of my race and identity as a Hispanic Latinx woman. But, my name is too long for American standards and doesn’t fit on most forms, documents, credit cards etc. It is comprised of three words and requires 18 spaces. As a result, every single credit card I own has a DIFFERENT (and often incorrect) version of my name, including my Capital One Quicksilver credit card, which can only fit the first word of my last name. Names are powerful. I’m proud of mine and want to see it spelled correctly.
