What’s in a name? … Connection to family
Cassie has previously gone by the family name Leatham. Many of her accomplishments in the art and cultural world are listed as Cassie Leatham, however it’s time for Cassie to move forward and connect more with her culture and ancestors by acknowledging the Fishers and Pattersons… her grandparent’s family names.
“Leatham is an adopted name so I feel it’s time to honour my real family connections and honour my biological grandfather to keep his name continuing with truth and respect for my ancestors. From now on I am Cassie Fisher-Patterson.”
Wild Blak: Celebrating Culture
