A name is one of our earliest identifiers of self, and one of our first impressions of others. We are gifted our names as we start in the world, and they typically remain with us for the rest of our lives. Names carry meaning, pride, ancestry, and, of course, stories. The Call Me Rose Project endeavors to build a collection of stories centered around individuals, their names, and the unique stories behind them. I invite you to join in the discovery of these stories and to share your own.

Love your name, love your story.
