Some people may notice that I have several different identities (names). My explanation:
Before birth I was named Sugar after my father’s best friend. When I was old enough for school, my parents were so use to calling me Sugar I was automatically registered under that name.  Meanwhile a diligent school secretary added Yasmin to the same register, Yasmin being listed as my first name. The register was in alphabetical order and both my names were on it. I always answered to Sugar Samuels and never to Yasmin (I was that kind of child - why would I answer a second time?)
It took several visits from the school truancy officers before the authorities realised that Sugar and Yasmin were one and the same person.
I started work at the age of 14 and tried to use Yasmin within the work environment but colleagues soon started calling me Sugar.

It was when I qualified as a masseuse in the early 90's that it was necessary to insist on being called Yasmin.

Euphemia is my middle name, also my mother’s and grandmother’s name. I decided to use this name as an author to acknowledge and in honour of the strong women in my life.
A tip that should help you with  the pronunciation of Euphemia -  it sounds like [YOO] + [FEE] + [MEE] + [UH]  
​Yes another name change, but they are all mine.
