Sarah Raughley: Hi everybody. My name is Sarah Raughley. So my name is Sarah Raughley, not Sarah Riley or Sarah Rothley, but Sarah Raughley. The reason why my name is Sarah Raughley, Sarah Raughley's actually a pen name. I'm going to keep my real name a secret, but I will say that Sarah and Raughley are both my first name. Sarah is my English name, and Raughley is kind of the nickname of my Nigerian name, Rolake, so you don't have to memorize that.
But what I will say is Raughley is the nickname that I went by all throughout elementary, middle school, high school. When I was in school, my friends and my not friends, I'll just say the other kids at school had this weird chant for me. I don't know whether they meant it affectionately or whether they were just having fun or what.
But they used to cheer me on in the games that we used to play at school, like sports days and things like that. They used to say, Raughley, Raughley, Raughleyo. Raughley, Raughley, Raughleyo. They had this whole chant and I can't even remember, but somebody came up with this whole thing.
If you want to remember my name, it's Sarah Raughley, and you can call me Raughley, Raughley, Raughleyo if you want.
If you do, then I will know that you listened to this particular recording, and I will probably laugh.
