On November 30, 2021, we had the opportunity to have Irma Herrera, writer and performer of Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name? present for a Q&A session with our students. Students were able to stream her play through Latino Theater Co and learned the importance of sharing their names.

Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name? is one woman’s journey from a small segregated South Texas town to California's multicultural mecca. What part of Irma’s identity is she asked to give up for the sake of fitting in and getting along? How can a simple introduction turn into a potential battle to be heard and seen? Weaving history and comedic insights into stories about names, this solo performer invites us to consider how open and welcoming we really are.


Robyn Orozco, Centennial High School Puente Teacher, sent her class's letters for Ms. Herrera after the event. See a handful of student responses to her play and her response here!

When you need to book or to make arrangements on travelling, one of the shortest methods to get official assistance and confirmations prior to landing is calling the Kona International Airport Customer Support phone number.

Local U.S. airports tend to be delayed by weather, rescheduled at the gate, and have been facing problems coordinating their rental cars. This can be in cases of departures and arrivals. Gillette–Campbell County Airport Customer Support Phone Number is a number that helps the passengers by updating them on the activities that are going on at the airport in real time. By calling the Gillette–Campbell County Airport Phone Number, the travelers are also able to verify that they have access to the concourses, methods of ground transportation, and the updated time of flights in the event of seasonal weather disturbances.

Mình biết đến OK9 thông qua một vài bài chia sẻ kinh nghiệm và quyết định ghé xem. Chưa dành nhiều thời gian trải nghiệm, nhưng cảm nhận ban đầu là cách bố trí nội dung khá hợp lý, các khu vực được phân chia rõ ràng nên không bị rối mắt.
