Wow, I just received an email from a program coordinator asking how to pronounce my name. It made me feel incredibly valued. I’m impressed. 👌🏾

This tweet did unexpected numbers. I don’t have a SoundCloud but this is one of my favorite mixes on the app.

It was recorded at the best music festival in the world by two DJs from my hometown.

Even my mom will dance to this. Enjoy. 🤗 https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/EcfhPo8844pyV5NJA
How do you pronounce it? That’s a bit of a complicated question. I’ve lived in 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 for 34 years.

1. Anyone who doesn’t have a Ghanaian accent (siblings included) pronounces it “Essie” (like the nail polish). “Es-C” “S-C”

2. Ghanaians (parents included) pronounce it “Ay-C”
Ghanaians who fall under the Akan umbrella of tribes (Fante tribe, Ashante tribe) have day of the week names. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akan_names 

Esi is a Sunday born girl name.
