<p>Dear CPHS community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am writing to acknowledge that I have been mispronouncing my name and to share the correct pronunciation. I started introducing myself as "Ateeka" 15 years ago when I started graduate school in the US and people had a hard time pronouncing my name correctly.
When I noticed that most people had started calling me "Erica", I decided to go with "Ateeka" - it was easier to say and closer to my actual name than Erica. This

article</a> very aptly capture my experiences, and why after so many years I have decided to correct my mistake and say my name the way it is supposed to be said. It will mean extra effort, potentially accompanied by feelings of embarrassment/awkwardness, but
I recognize that it is important. The correct pronunciation of my name is "Uh-thick-ah". I will gladly help you with the pronunciation, so don't hesitate to ask if you need to.

<p>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
