The story of your name: A celebration of global blackness

The story of your name: A celebration of global blackness
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

What’s in a name? For many of us, our names hold a deep significance, reflecting our family history, cultural heritage, and personal identity. But have you ever stopped to think about the story behind your name? Who named you, and why? And how does your name shape your sense of Blackness?

These questions are at the heart of “The Story of Your Name,” a fascinating project by The Armah Institute of Emotional Justice (AIEJ). Throughout September, the project is celebrating global Blackness through storytelling, education, and healing.

A Sonic Bridge of Healing

Using voice notes, participants from around the world – including Ghana, South Africa, the Caribbean, the UK, and the US – are sharing the stories of their names. These stories are being woven into an audio map, creating a sonic bridge of healing that spans the globe.

“It’s a history lesson in a story that’s just 3-5 minutes long,” says Esther Armah, CEO of AIEJ. “You’ll hear stories that are funny, moving, insightful, and thought-provoking. There’s beauty, love, trauma, pain, and power.”

Emotional Justice and Healing

“The Story of Your Name” is part of AIEJ’s multi-year initiative, “HEALING HARM | HEEDING HISTORY.” This project aims to heal the emotional economy of identity for global Black people, addressing the legacy of untreated trauma that shapes their lives.

By sharing their stories, participants are helping to build a global Black soundscape that promotes healing, understanding, and connection.

Join the Conversation

September is Black-on-Black healing month, and AIEJ is calling on Africa and the Diaspora to focus on emotional identity and healing. Join the conversation by sharing your own story of your name, and listen to the stories of others.

Together, let’s build a thriving emotional economy of identity that honors our global Blackness.
