What’s In A Name?

What’s in a name?

I took all the necessary steps prior to branding my business in order to brand my business. That is what you’re supposed to do, right?

But here I am over ten thousand dollars later left with a system that tells young people to follow the rules and make sure they are legit. A world that makes people of color (add being a woman on top) feel inadequate all while reaping the benefits of our love, beauty, and creativity. As long as we keep inspiring, we are all good. Just don’t let us get too inspired to actually go after the very opportunities our counterparts so effortlessly have within reach. I say within reach as to not take away the hard work that “they” too put in because most of them do put in work too. But the road to excellence is just so much lighter, so much straighter.

What’s in a name?

Your identity is what they say. But what happens when that identity is challenged? When the very name chosen to set you apart is threatened by the notion that one ruling can tear it all apart because it sounds good to someone else. Someone that looks nothing like you. Someone that doesn’t work like you. Someone that wants so bad to do it just like you but doesn’t understand that it’s more than a name. They don’t understand it. They can’t wrap their brain around the fact that it is so much deeper than the name. That’s why it’s so easy for it to be taken, the name that is.

Not ME though.

What’s in a name?

Nothing.

Because what God places in your heart is Everything.

Once you know Who you, Whose you are, and What’s your place; no one can take that.
