It’s Legacy

When Talented Artist (TA) was spotted by executives as a possible new star for their network, they gave her a break that was highly coveted. After all, with no so-called insider contacts, TA was lucky to be noticed. TA’s projects came one after the other. However, TA was involved in a few controversies during her career, which forced her to go on break.

As soon as the aired cleared, TA made a comeback and was soon part of the management’s lineup. Time passed and the day that most talents dread came. TA’s contract lapsed. TA sent feelers to other management agencies, but they were not interested. TA needed the work as she has a family to help out. Besides, she was unable to complete her study, which is a fallback, because she prioritized her career. TA asked her contacts why and they said no reason was given. A few more probes and TA received a possible answer.

Sometime during her career, an insider advised TA to change her name, which was a common practice to add recall. TA refused and said that she was holding on to her family’s legacy. Stubborn as she was, she stuck to the name she wanted to be known. Several popular celebrities had been in the same predicament and they made a similar stand, which proved correct.

When TA learned that the past incident concerning her name was an issue, she said she was willing to follow the repackaging. Too late. TA was already known by the name that the insider did not like then and still now.

‘Names are important; they are more than just words, they shape and colour the things they name.’ ― George R.R. Martin
