In this special episode, I sit down with my dear friend Cassy—who also goes by her middle name, Henrika—for an insightful conversation about identity, heritage, and the power of names. Born and raised in South Africa, Cassy shares her unique journey navigating life with two names, revealing how each has shaped her sense of self and her connections with others.

As the ninth country represented on this podcast, South Africa brings a fresh perspective to my ongoing exploration of cultural differences in regards to names. Cassy’s stories are both personal and universal, touching on themes of belonging, cultural pride, and the nuances of growing up in a vibrant, diverse nation.

Join us for an enlightening discussion that celebrates individuality, friendship, and the rich tapestry of backgrounds that make our world so fascinating.
