Description: FOR SOME STUDENTS, returning to school with new teachers and classmates can be uniquely difficult. "As a Black kid, I had that experience of people just mispronouncing my name," says author and educator Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow. She got everything from Jamal to Jamalia to Janelle. One teacher called her Jamil. "I remember always going, 'Ah. Just add an ah.'" Meanwhile, she thought, "My name is literally three syllables."
