:::Why do a lot of “media” outlets pronounce her name “Fah-ny”?:::

It seems her name is a much longer African-derived name starting with FANI. Like Vice President Carmella Harris, you MUST pronounce her name as demanded. So I call her Fanny, a good descriptor of where she stores her brain.

Update/correction regarding FAT FANNY:

Willis was born in Inglewood, California. Her father, John C. Floyd III, was a founder of a faction of the Black Panthers but grew disillusioned by the movement’s infighting.

“My name is actually Fani (fah-nee), Taifa is my middle name, and my last name is Willis. So, my father was a Black Panther, so he was very Afrocentric… my name is Swahili. Fani actually means ‘prosperous,’ and Taifa means ‘people’. We’re not talking about material things in wealth, we’re talking about that stuff that really matters… I always remember my roots, that I come from a prosperous people, which are African people.”
