On this episode of UNGENTRIFIED, I am joined by Tanisha Colon-Bibb (@tanishacolonbibb), the entrepreneur who recently wrote an article about why she changed her name to something "less black" to avoid racism & discrimination in the workplace and get ahead in business, and her journey back to using her original name.

We discuss the response she got from her article, Black-on-Black name discrimination, the history of "ghetto" names in the Black community, and whether or not Oprah's resume would get tossed in the trash. Listen and give us your opinion!
