Telling my side of the story

WARNING: I'm not that deep.

Lights, Camera, Action

In a few minutes, I will be recording a videotaped session that will be viewed by our customers across the country and maybe even worldwide. Like people who know me often tell me, I am worried about the wrong things. I am worried about how I will come out sounding. I am one of those people that makes fun of Naijas that I see on the news. Gosh, see how they are speaking. They are so razz, etc. Now, I might be the one judged by another Naija person. I don't like to fake the funk but in this case, I will be speaking properr (a la Tyler Perry). I'm sure people that know me will be like hmm, how far? Whatever. Like I said, I am worried about the wrong things. Should I pronounce my name the easy way - as in the same way as my voicemail at work? Or should I pronounce it like the way my Aunty calls me? Hmm. Tough one. Oh well. It'll be alright. It's not going to be more than five minutes long. I think.

I know - more like Yoruba. It's always a struggle when you have a "difficult to pronounce name". I always try to break it down for people but it takes like 5 minutes for them to process and move on. Can really be annoying.
