Testimony of My Name

Testimony of My Name

(First-person, adaptable for sharing

My name is Guillit Pascalia Amakobe,

And it is not just what I am called—it is what I survived to become.

There was a time when my name did not fully hold my truth.

I lived under expectations that did not see me,

Labels that tried to define me before I understood myself.

But life, faith, and deep inner knowing led me across a threshold.

Pascalia reminds me that I crossed over—

From fear to honesty,

From hiding to living,

From silence to voice.

I did not change my name to escape who I was;

I embraced my name because I finally understood who I am.

Guillit speaks of strength—not loud strength,

But the strength of endurance, protection, and resolve.

It names the part of me that stayed alive

When it would have been easier to disappear.

Amakobe anchors me to my people and my roots.

It tells me I do not walk alone,

That my life carries meaning beyond myself,

And that my becoming is connected to the healing of others.

My name is my truth.

My name is my testimony.

My name is not rebellion—it is revelation.

And I walk forward owning it.

Amen.
