mi nombre

FOR CLARIFICATION

My name is J
pronounced J-A-Y
some people spell it J-A-I because they can't deal
with a letter
nobody has called me Jeanette since....
my 5th grade teacher. When I hear "Jeanette" I do not think it is me OR my name
because aside from technicalities it is NOT my name.

My name is J. Very simple.
That is all I have ever gone by and it is all I will ever go by. Spelling don't mean shit to me as long as JAY or J or JAI comes out your mouth. Don't think you're special by calling me Jeanette!!! Even when my mom is mad as shit as me she still hollers "JAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY"

I'm not trying to divorce my identity, or separate myself from my upbringing. I have always been called either J or Purvis. I have always introduced myself as such. It is not complicated. One syllable!!!
