Tell Us why you choose your Steemit name

_{designed with canva}

First of all, this name is what I used for all my social handles, including my email address. So when I came onboard on Steemit platform, I didn't think twice about the username to use. I simply used it.

If I recall vividly, I was first called the pet name , "Afunky baby" by my class teacher back then in the junior secondary school. She formed it from my name Adefunke. The first part of my steemit name, afunky was inspired from that pet name. And till today, many of my colleagues call me "Afunky".

When I finished secondary school, my dream profession was tied around caring for people's health needs, as a medical professional, we save life and care for them. Besides, I also went into catering, which in a way has to do with caring about people's special day, such as birthday, wedding day etc and events in general. So this inspired the "cares".

Joined together, you have afunkycares. This is also in my catering brand name: Afunkycares Catering & Services.

Therefore, my Steemit name is a name borne out of the passion to save and care for dying lives and people in general.

Is there someone you've dedicated the name to

Well, I haven't thought of dedicating it to someone . And now, I am dedicating my Steemit Name, Afunkycares, to my darling mum. She has been the one for me .

All through, she has been a strong , compassionate and supportive mother. God continue to bless and keep her. She deserves all the love and care I can give; she is the best mum in the whole wide world.

Are you satisfied with your name?

Absolutely, I am satisfied with my Steemit name. It reflects my passion, my profession and my personality. And it's just perfect. Therefore,I am pleased with the name, @afunkycares

If you're given a chance will you change your name?

No, I wouldn't change my name if given a chance to do so. This is simply because the name, afunkycares depicts a strong meaning for me. I have an Acronym for my CARES;

• C OMPASSIONATE
• A CTION-TAKER
• R EALISTIC
• E MPATHETIC
• S TANDS IN GAP

All these are key attributes of a medical professional, particularly registered nurses.(Of which I am one ,still in training though).

You have to be COMPASSIONATE towards clients/ patients. In delivering quality care, there is need to be a smart ACTION-TAKER. Be REALISTIC with patients on certain decision-making pertaining to their health needs. Being EMPATHETIC with them and always there to STAND IN GAP ,as an advocate, for them.

Therefore, I don't have plans of changing my name at all.
