Put on your VR headset... click below to begin.
You're sitting in the conference room. The client, David, from a major tech partner walks in.
David: "Hey team! Great to finally meet you... uh, I'm sorry, I have trouble with your name."
He looks directly at you, then glances at your hijab.
David: "You know what, I'll just call you Ashley. That works, right?"
Your cheeks feel hot. You've corrected him three times before. Your name is Aisha.
Your manager says nothing. Your colleague looks away.
A golden lantern materializes before you, illuminating the words you wish someone would say...

What your manager COULD have said:
"Actually David, Aisha's name is Aisha. She's been a key part of this project for two years. Names matter — let's get it right. Aisha, did I pronounce that correctly?"
Impact: This simple intervention validates Aisha's identity and sets a clear standard for respect.
In Lantern training, you'll practice these interventions until they become automatic.
