When Dee finally arrives, she is accompanied by a man, whom Mama refers to as Hakim-a-barber. Mama and Maggie are a little taken back by Dee's wild-looking outfit and her African greeting to them. Dee takes photos of Mama and Maggie in front of the house. The greetings from Dee and Hakim-a-barber are stiff and unfamiliar to Mama and Maggie. Dee informs her mother that she has now changed her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo in order to protest the oppression and cultural whitewashing Black Americans faced. Mama questions this, telling Dee she was named after her Aunt Dicie, who in turn was named after Grandma Dee, and that the name went on through the generations. Dee gives Mama the option of not using her new name, but Mama compromises and agrees to use it. Mama concludes that Hakim-a-barber must be related to a family of Muslims down the road. In response, Hakim-a-barber says he accepts some of the doctrines of his farming family but is not interested in the family business.
