Nike-Kaffezakis
American So I lied, I wasn't necessarily back. I sort of had a mental breakdown that nearly had me institutionalized. But through intense therapy, I not only put my life in order, but on a new track. I came out. I am transfeminine. In a large way, I have risen out of the ashes into a new being. That is why I changed my name to Nike, after the patron goddess of victory, but also a shortening of my former Greek name "Yannike". I have not changed so much as matured into a more honest form of myself, claiming victory over old anxieties and fears.
