How's That Spelled?
Your name was the first gift you ever got. It's the first word in your story.
I'm Megan. I introduce myself to strangers, ask their name and how to spell it. Then we see where that question takes us. Filmed at the tables at Cafe Deux in Harrison, NY. The coffee's on me.
How it works
- 1
You write your name on a name tag while you spell it out loud.
- 2
I ask you one question about your name.
- 3
You hold up your tag and say, "My name is [your name], and I own my story."
- 4
Your name goes on the Wall of Names.
Nothing gets posted without your yes.
