Clemantine Wamariya: My name is Clemantine Wamariya. My older sister Claire, she named me Clemantine. It's a character that flew around this Japanese animation. This character flew around the world on the top of this dragon.
And my last name, Wamariya, it means "of Mary," like Mary, Mother of Jesus, or Mary Magdalene, or Mary wherever Mary in your life. I'm of Mary.
And then I've been very lucky to get a new name, named Joyful. So you could call me Joyful. Joyful is my new name because it reminds me to be absolutely free in my highest joy and be without a fear.
So that is Joyful. So it's Joyful Clemantine Wamariya.
