What's In A Name? Our names, like it or not, can define who we are. Something given to us before we ourselves even know the meaning. We’ve all mispronounced names at some point in our lives, but do some names get mispronounced more than others? When we see or hear unfamiliar looking or sounding names to we “other” them? Do we assume that certain names are associated with a certain race or ethnic background? In this episode Tam and Mek talk about their own experiences with their names and dive a little into name biases.
