In this episode, I talk to someone whose presence radiates warmth and light — a true joy container. Tanto is a content creator and business owner who has gone by many names over the years — twenty-one, to be exact.
We explore how naming can be a tool for rebuilding confidence, beginning again, and stepping into new versions of yourself. My guest talks about reclaiming power through her names, preserving culture, finding affirmation through positivity, and how naming can hold joy, healing, and renewal. We also talk about choosing names for the future, baby name ideas, and how naming is deeply tied to rebirth and becoming.
From the twenty-one names she’s carried, to the confidence each new name helped her rebuild, to the joy of naming as a form of self-affirmation — her story reveals how names can carry healing, resilience, and authenticity all at once. This is a conversation about becoming, affirmation, and the continuous journey back to self, and I’m so excited for you to listen to the episode. You can find Tanto on IG at @tantoluwaa and @tantoscapes and on TikTok at @tantoluwaaa
