“No nickname please, it’s not hard”

Janiya Moore,
Aurora, IL

I chose these 6 words because so often many people outside of my race find it difficult to say my 6 letter name, Janiya, (Jah-ny-uh), and many will respond in the face of giving up on pronouncing with “ugh or ooh, it’s so hard can I just call you Jay, or Niya, etc”. And if I can pronounce 6+ letter names with ease and practice such as Savannah, then so can others.
