clicking play on a Franny Choi poem is like opening your front door to let a hurricane into your home. prepare yourself. brace yourself. but really you just have to experience it. wow
Amazingly beautiful. As someone else who knows the weight carried from having your "English name" and your "Asian name", I applaud you. Thank you for writing this.

"I promise to never stop stealing back what is mine" amazing line that I so resonate with!! My family assimilated 2 generations ago and I'm barely trying to decolonize and find my roots! Thank you amazing poem and tone!!!
Inspired, thank you for sharing of yourself so bravely. made this guy feel a little less alone
I love this poem! yay Korean pride!
I'm an Hispanic-American living in Korean, and this is beautiful, many many of my friends explain to me how they wish they didn't have to use an English name, so I find it important to always try and learn their Korean name.
Same happens on my own with Mariana, I am used to telling people my name is Marianne or Marian because just the simple taste of Latino in my name still manages to bite their tongues, as if my name was one they had never heard before
Very beautiful
I actually got goosebumps from this. Simply brilliant!
I teared up, this is amazing.
Franny you are beautiful. Love how passionate you are.
I loved this poem! And she is beautiful
