Being Here
Make My Name
What is in a name — and what does it mean to truly claim your own? Make My Name is a songspell by adrienne maree brown, part of her Fables & Spells collection created with The Bengsons. Like a seed surrendering to soil, this piece is an intimate meditation on identity, becoming, and the quiet power of knowing who you are. Let it be a reminder that your name, your story, and your life are yours to define.
