Kerry Washington And Daughter Now Bears Their Igbo Names.

Some are rely coming back to reality, Kerry Washington is one, She now bears her Igbo name as Ogechi. Kudos to her husband, The former NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha.

"Nnamdi’s parents are Nigerian immigrants. His father passed when he was young. When you marry into the Igbo culture, you get a new name. My name is Ogechi. I wear it on a necklace my mother-in-law gave me."
My daughter’s name is Isabelle Amarachi. Isabelle is my grandmother’s name. She was a bad-ass. She’d be scowling if she knew I called her that, but she was an immigrant from Jamaica who raised seven children alone in the Bronx. Isabelle’s middle name, Amarachi is Igbo for 'God’s grace'."
