Episode Synopsis
In this episode, listen to Darain Faraz discuss the many names he's gone by and how they served different purposes and reflect different times in his life. Maya and Darain also discuss accents and code-switching, and make the distinction between changing accents as a way to fit in and assimilate or to make others feel more included.

He joined LinkedIn EMEA in 2011, and is currently their International Director of Brand Marketing, where he’s responsible for devising, and implementing their international brand strategy. Darain and his brother, Sheeraz, set-up not for profit, People Like Us, in 2020 to address the underrepresentation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people in Marketing & Communications industries. Darain regularly features Marketing Week’s Top 100 Marketers list, and last year, alongside his brother, People Like Us was awarded PRCA's Trailblazer of the Year Award.
