Recently, I felt attacked. I'm talking about hyperventilating and I couldn't breathe. I could feel rapid pulsating sensations in my face. I was sweltering and felt disoriented. My headache intensified with every blink of my eyes.

I was 10 years old when I decided I no longer wanted to carry the prefix to my name. Everything about me is connected to my nickname, Trice. I remember telling my grandfather that the change was because I was frustrated with my teachers saying it completely wrong.
