Hey, My name changed. It’s not a sudden thing. This is years in coming and there are so many #reasonswhy I held on to that name this long.

One of them was that I was afraid to lose the contacts and connections I had formed with it. But with all this shit going on I don’t want to wait, second guess myself or hold on to anything that isn’t mine.This name is meThis is mineIf you slip and call me Irene I won’t be mad but I will gently correct you unless you are using that name on purpose to be a cunt. In which case I will call you such and keep it moving.

Hello,

My name is Rawiyah Tariq (RAH-we-ya TAH-reek)

My pronouns are They/ Them.

It’s very nice to meet you.
