      <description>&lt;p&gt;My name is Allen. That&amp;rsquo;s the short answer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The longer answer is that I go by Allen Ghanghas in one world and Allen Dior in another. Ghanghas is my Hindi identity, the name I was given, rooted in family and in a language that thinks differently than English does. Dior is my professional identity, the one I built in North America. But neither name fully captures it. I&amp;rsquo;m just Allen, and I&amp;rsquo;ve made peace with the fact that no name ever will.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
