In a sense, that when someone speaks your name, it is clear what you're standing for, what is your value-set, and what others may expect from you. What I don't find nice though, is to get labels. It's like being judged for who you are... I hope the author does not mind me sharing the below, found in SoMe. To all the women, who are labeled: AGGRESSIVE - keep being ASSERTIVE BOSSY - keep on LEADING DIFFICULT - keep TELLING the TRUTH TOO MUCH - keep TAKING UP SPACE AWKWARD - keep ASKING HARD QUESTIONS Let's NOT cut pieces of ourselves to fit someone else's reality. Have you ever done it? I sure did! Let's share our stories to let others learn and grow from our experiences!

To all of us who get labeled ...
