Mmachi Domoriaku explores the concept of identity through oral storytelling. More specifically, she shares the struggles she faces as a Nigerian immigrant in NY even regarding her name. Therefore, she decides to change her name to fit into American standards. However, she soon realizes that her name is a huge part of her identity highlighting her origins. Similarly, when I left my home at the of 16, I started introducing myself using my English name on my passport which sounds different but it is easier for English speakers to pronounce. However, my closest friends in Singapore started calling me by my Greek name because they insisted on doing so and that made me realize how people who respect your identity should be at least trying to call you by how you want to be called. Even in this university, many people started calling me by my Greek name after they requested to do so. I am really not used to people calling me by my Greek name except for my people so I feel almost nostalgic and much closer to home every time that I hear someone calling me by my name!
