An Introduction to the Queen

I am Queen Dalia. My name did not originate from a feeling of superiority over anyone. Its origin is simple: when my maiden name was alphabetized, it was listed "King, Dalia." I am clearly all woman, so my Sorority Sister C began calling me "Queen Dalia" in 1996 when I became an AKA. Since this time, Queen Dalia has remained my moniker.

This first blog introduced you to the meaning behind my name. My goal with future blogs is to delve deeper into me as a person. I hope to remain honest, transparent and fearful as I share myself in my writings.

My blog is titled "Tangentially Speaking" because I have been known to jump from topic to topic in the midst of a conversation or even a sentence. I came up with this title in 2001 when I was playing with names for a potential book...one that still has yet to be written.

I'll define tangentially in a separate blog and explain why I use it. Thanks for the motivation!
