The Man With Two Names
Shahid Iqbal (aka Richard Brown ) tells journalist Sangita Myska why he has two names, one for his personal life and one for business: "People would cancel contracts when they heard my name."
As a child growing up in 1980s Britain, Sangita desperately wanted a name her white English friends could pronounce. Years of garbled pronunciations and awkward corrections later, she now believes those challenges have helped her forge her sense of identity.
