My name is shawna. Nadine Kearsley. Yeah. Shawna. Nadine Kearsley is my name. I'm jamaican, and in Jamaica, we say Nadine, and Americans say Nadine, and I think the French do as well. I was born a Watson, Shawna Nadine Watson. And I've just always wanted to get rid of the Watson just for what it represented. And so I got Kearsley, and I have Kearsley, and I do like that

Wow, this is such an interesting story. Just that the etymology and then not knowing it and then hearing your nickname, it's. The whole thing is very interesting how we get used to something and then it just turns and we have to reorient ourselves. Beautiful. Thank you so much. It's just another window into who you are

I learned something new. And thank you for joining us here. Nadine means hope or dew of grace. Isn't that pretty? And that's said to be in several languages, including French and Russian. Dew of grace. Oh, that sounds so wonderful. I did not know this. And hope. I did not know this. What's in the name? They say thank you
