Why does every black American girl have a name like Tanisha or Shawntana or something like that ?
OKAY. How would you pronounce this child's name:
"Le-a"
.
Leah?? NO
.
Lee - A?? NOPE
.
Lay - a?? NO
Lei?? Guess Again.
.
This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.
.
It's pronounced "Ledasha".
.
When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."
.
SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash.
.
If they axe you why, tell them the dash don't be silent.
