Athlete Sha’Carri Richardson also has the same concern. In fact, on many occasions, she has corrected reporters and camera persons on multiple occasions.

Recently, Richardson shared an Instagram video of a girl on her story who decides to tell her friends to not call her by her nickname anymore. She teaches them the right pronunciation of her name.
