nounINFORMAL
a person who tends to talk too much in an offensive or tactless way.
You know, I have never struggled to come up with names and ideas. I'm very much an ideas person. If anyone ever needs help coming up with a business name, I'm your girl. My own business name was no different. The name sort of revealed itself honestly, like it was always meant to be. I very much believe Loudmouth is an important part of my identity. I started saying the word loudmouth all the time once I got my kitty T'Challa. He popped up out of the bushes and was such a sweet little cuddle bug, my boyfriend at the time and I just had to take him in. He has a very distinct and loud meow that always makes me laugh! He is my little loudmouth. Naturally, I have a very fond connection to the word because of him and it struck me one day that it would be the perfect name for my tarot endeavors. It just felt so right! It's almost ironic because I used to be very loud as a kid and adolescent, but it was like the older I got, the quieter and more "well behaved" I became. I was always getting in trouble in elementary school for talking to everyone around me and distracting them! Fast forward to middle school and suddenly I was this nerdy quiet girl desperately clasping her trapper keeper to her chest, bustling from one class to another where I felt like I had no friends and did not fit in. I kept to myself so I wouldn't be bullied and I just did my best to fly under the radar. I got straight A's so my dad would lay off me and learned to quietly read Gossip Girl books or update my HTML on Neopets in my room in the summers. There is a side of me that is very blunt and out there! You kind of have to be to professionally read tarot and offer intuitive services. People are going to side-eye you and think you are loco bananas. So I might as well embrace it and be a little subversive here.
Here's to being my loud, obnoxious, tactless, authentic self. And here is my perfect baby T'Challa AKA the original Loudmouth:
