with me about what her name really was, as opposed to how the professor said it. She would say her name, the professor would butcher it, she would continue to make her points in the class discussion. After class, I decided to talk with her about the interaction. She graciously took the time to speak with me about her name and her academic work for an hour after. “Why would I explain all of this to a random white lady? Because you heard, you asked, you listened.” Thank you again for that intimate conversation
