One Who is Understanding
This story is so beautiful! I listened to it twice & shared it with family & friends.
I am a good friend of Atiba. He & I were part of a Kwanzaa Name Changing ceremony, where he announced his name, Atiba Mbiwan. I was unaware of how he came to choose his name.
The one thing that I feel must be corrected is the fact that Atiba’s son not only has a daughter but he also has a son with the last name Mbiwan. We all know that the daughters don’t usually carry on the surname; it’s the sons. Therefore, by leaving out the grandson it appears that the name will die with the granddaughter when in fact it can survive with the grandson. My understanding is that you had that information but did not mention it.
Can you provide that addition & explain it to the audience please?
Thank you ! Blessings !

My Appreciation
I have listened to StoryCorps for as long as I can remember. It’s the one thing that touches my soul so deeply. My week is not complete until I hear the chords of the guitar every Friday.
Thank you for having the foresight to create something so timeless…
And beautiful.
Must have!
Love this so much.
