Referring to Hannah

I use they/she pronouns, however, if you are referring to me in any public publication, you may only use they/them.

I ask to be referred to by my whole name: Hannah Sullivan Facknitz.

My middle name is often erased, but represents a maternal lineage of women who endured extreme violence to give me life today. Going by my complete name is a means of honouring matriarchal gifts in a patriarchal society. They are of me, in me, and always part of my story.

I love you, Mom.
