"Your name is a vibration. Every time you repeat it, it's an affirmation. If a picture tells a thousand words, than a symbol tells a thousand pictures and your name is a symbol. So if you can arrange symbols around your life, of who you are, with things of strength - even your own name – then that has the ability to raise your conscious immediately." – Héritier Lumumba
