After years of contending with these 'arrogant manglers' and 'evaders', I began to unconsciously emotionally detach from my name.
Growing up in North Carolina as the daughter of two rabbis was hard enough—growing up with a name like mine was even harder.My parents named me Meirav Batsheva. Meirav means abundance in Hebrew. The 'rav' in my name comes from my great-grandpa Ruby, who fought for this country in World War II and fled Russia to give his children a better life. I am proud to have his name be a part of mine.
After years of contending with these 'arrogant manglers' and 'evaders', I began to unconsciously emotionally detach from my name. It's not that I didn't like the name anymore or forgot the history behind it, I was simply tired of correcting teachers, administrators, pharmacists, doctors, and other students. I was tired of explaining my existence.
