A clip of activist author Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu refusing to go on with an interview until the host could pronounce her name correctly is making the rounds on social media. 

Mos-Shogbamimu, who is a vocal supporter of Meghan Markle and penned a book about anti-racism, wouldn’t back down during the exchange with British TV presenter Dawn Neesom on Channel 5’s “Jeremy Vine Show.”

“I am absolutely thrilled to be joined by lawyer Dr. Shola…,” Neesom began, but after attempting to sound out her guest’s last name, she asked, “How do I pronounce your name, Shola?”

“Read it, my darling, read it,” Mos-Shogbamimu replied.

Neesom tried again but did not get it right. 

 “This is terrible, especially from a presenter,” Mos-Shogbamimu said while smiling.

Neesom tried to sound it out, saying, “Shola Mos Shog Mam Imu,” but the guest wasn’t satisfied and instructed the host to “do it again.” 

“Oh come on, I got the Shola right,” Neesom said, but Mos-Shogbamimu said, “Do it again and do it phonetically.”

After another attempt, the guest said, “You just missed the B, try again.” At that, Neesom tried to begin the segment.

“Shola, Shola, welcome to the show!” she said.

But Mos-Shogbamimu was adamant and said, “No you will say my name now. Read it phonetically.” When Neesom got close enough on the last attempt, the guest said, “It’s Shogbamimu, but well done.”

Both Mos-Shogbamimu and Neesom posted the clip to their social media accounts. The TV presenter wrote in the caption, “The most fun with the best panel this morning. That’s what three hours sleep does for you.”

Meanwhile, the author of “This Is Why I Resist” posted the clip without comment. 

Mos-Shogbamim previously defended Markle’s decision to skip King Charles III’s coronation last weekend.

“I think Meghan’s decision to say no to the most powerful family in Britain and to say no to the most talked about party in town is both admirable and inspiring,” she told Good Morning Britain ahead of the event. 

“What Meghan is doing is exercising the power of no that comes from a place of self-worth, growth, maturity and self preservation,” she said. “I think that any wife out there that has bad in-laws like Meghan has with the royal family can deduce that she has drawn a line in the sand. She is saying I will attend royal events, but on my own terms.” 

“But what is more powerful is that Meghan is telling the whole world that I am rejecting any notion that because I married into the royal family I should be bait for toxicity, rage, and abuse,” Mos-Shogbamimu continued. “She is saying to society as a whole: you don’t get to tell me who I should be as a woman, as a mother, and as a wife.”

Hedge fund manager David Bahnsen will introduce a resolution before the shareholders of JPMorgan Chase next week regarding the company’s moves to de-bank organizations for their conservative and religious viewpoints.

Chase Bank, the consumer and commercial subsidiary of the financial services behemoth, has garnered controversy in recent months for nixing its relationship with the National Committee for Religious Freedom, a nonprofit that advocates for religious liberty, and asking the organization to provide a list of its donors. One credit card processor owned by Chase likewise terminated an account belonging to Family Council, a conservative organization that works to strengthen traditional family values, while another firm controlled by Chase refused to serve the political action committee Defense of Liberty.

The shareholder resolution submitted by Bahnsen, the founder and chief investment officer of The Bahnsen Group, contends that the actions from Chase violate the liberties enumerated in the United States Constitution and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. The resolution, which will be presented at the company’s annual shareholder meeting on May 16, would demand that JPMorgan Chase publish an evaluation of how the firm oversees risks related to discrimination against clients for their religious and political views.

“When companies engage in this kind of discrimination, they hinder the ability of individuals, groups, and businesses to access and equally participate in the marketplace and instead skew it to their own ends,” the resolution asserts. “Moreover, they risk giving fringe activists and governments a foothold to demand that private financial institutions deny service under the sweeping, unfettered discretion that such policies provide.”

JPMorgan Chase filed a motion with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year to exclude the resolution from the shareholder ballot, a move which authorities from the agency rejected.

Bahnsen remarked in an interview with The Daily Wire that he does not expect the resolution to pass next week but said the intended impact “has already been achieved” because of the significant attention drawn by the company’s unsuccessful effort to nix the resolution.

“We have now had three extensive meetings directly with senior leaders at JPMorgan Chase and have been able to engage them in serious conversation about these matters,” Bahnsen commented. “I do not believe this would have ever gotten any internal attention apart from this effort, nor do I think senior leadership understood or appreciated that there were even people like us out there before this.”

Bahnsen, himself a conservative Christian and the son of influential late apologist Greg Bahnsen, said he does not believe actions against religious groups are emerging from senior executives, attributing the phenomenon to the “biases and prejudices” of “highly empowered” local and regional middle managers. “I am convinced these discriminatory things are happening, and that senior management is not behind it at all,” he continued. “I believe they have a breakdown at a more local and regional level causing this, and they internally are going to have to rectify it.”

Many accuse public and private actors of leveraging the financial system to oppose certain political perspectives, especially those held by conservatives. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked emergency powers last year to freeze the personal and corporate bank accounts of individuals involved with demonstrations against vaccine mandates, while PayPal announced that the firm would withdraw penalties from accounts deemed to be promoting racism or misinformation, a policy that the company later claimed was published by mistake.

The shareholder resolution comes as several Republican state attorneys general asked JPMorgan Chase to participate in the survey component of the Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index, an initiative from the Alliance Defending Freedom that evaluates prominent firms for their commitments to religious liberty and freedom of speech. JPMorgan Chase scored 15% out of 100% due to “unclear or imprecise policies” which allow the bank to “deny service for arbitrary or politically biased reasons.”
