Mi gente, #langchat #educolor #earlylang it’s going to look like I’m subtweeting but I’m not. I’m writing this tweet to create awareness yet again about the importance of names. There are many excellent orgs out there that are interested in my work yet they still misspell my name
Yes, I’m Latina. Yes, I’m Chilean. Yes, my name is French. You know, there’s this thing called #immigration and my great grandfather happened to partake in it during the early 1900s. My name is French and my last name is too because of my heritage #langchat #earlylang #educolor
I know a lot of people likes to call me Fran because Françoise sounds intimidating 👀 and for the most part I’m ok with it as long as it doesn’t sound anglicized. Now, when talking about me because I am presenting for u or you’re quoting my work, you must write my name correctly.
