Okay, now this is a topic I talked about in my v-log, however when I was in the process of writing the book Pretty for a black girl I left it out. There has been just toooo many times someone has told me that my name was ghetto. I remember when my husband and I had just started dating; he called a friend of his on the east coast and told her about me. Her very first question was what is her name??? When he said Aisha! I overheard him laughing, and then he immediately started describing me. As soon!!!!as he got off of the phone, I asked him why was he describing me to someone and why was he laughing?? Well, he said her response to my name was “OHH so you have yourself a ghetto chick from the hood.” He said he was telling her all about me and then he describes the way I looked to her. I was sooooo upset because, for one -it’s was really none of her concern and for two -YOU CAN NOT JUDGE SOMEONE BY THERE NAME…… This was not the first time that-that was something that had been said to me whether it was directly (or) indirectly. A while back I was at this concert and a guy had approached me, we had small talk and shared a few smiles and laughs and then he asked me what was my name as soon as I told him my name was Aisha he laughed and said “you look like a Stacy, I can’t believe your name is Aisha. I’m sorry Shorty but I can’t be talking to no girl name Aisha.” he then said “you look to good for that name” and then recommended that I change it. I was so upset, I couldn’t believe how shallow this man was; good thing he said that because our conversation would not have got to far anyway. Well!!! To those people who have hated on me because of my name I just want to say that Aisha is a beautiful name and it means life. This name is very popular throughout the world. If any of my readers have any unique names, I just want to say be proud of your name and don’t let the ignorance of others bother you. I know people do judge when it comes to this topic I have heard a ear full. Not everyone wants their child to be a Tom, Sally, or Sue. NO offence Tom, Sally, or Sue you get my point.

Rock your name with LOVE
