Irma Herrera's one-woman play, "Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name?", focuses on issues of identity and the power in making sure our names are pronounced correctly. Herrera, an activist, playwright and former civil rights attorney, shows that how we say a name reveals the preconceived ideas or assumptions we make about others.
