Chapter 19- The Origins Of Our Names Being An Asian In Modern British Society
-
- Diari
Hey everyone and welcome back to being an Asian in modern British society. Tonight, I invite three of my good friends from the University of
Bradford, Hamza Yousaf, Zarafshaan Hussain and Fatouma Sanyang to talk about a very important yet often disregarded topic – our names. Have you ever been annoyed because you’ve had to repeat your name more than once because someone simple couldn’t pronounce it? Or you’ve perhaps shortened it because Sims was easier to say than Simran or Naz was just easier than Nazia? Well, in this episode, we shine light on the origins of names, how we’ve altered them to suit western pronunciation, the stigma behind our names and how we’ve come to embrace them. This episode does have bad language, references to death and stories about racism, so if this isn’t for you, please check out another episode. So now put your feet up, sit
back and enjoy this episode!
This episode is dedicated to our dear friend Hamza Butt who we lost earlier this year. We miss Hamza and thank you for making this happen.
