The power of a name.

You without a name with roots are powerless.

You who does not understand or know the roots of your name are powerless.

History matters, for it helps you know who you are and who your are not. Without knowing your history, especially that of your name, your are powerless.

Culture matters, for it helps you know the context of your roots and the true meaning of your name. You with a cultureless name are powerless.

On this day commemorated “Heroes Day” and I public holiday in Uganda, my mind is flooded with thoughts of everyday heroes.

Ordinary people, against all odds, doing the best they can and thriving.

How about, you join me in celebrating you, and your name. In comment, type your name and what it means.
