Thandiwe Newton is one of the most successful Black British actresses of all time, but that didn't come without sacrifices including that of her own name. In the latest cover story of British Vogue, the actress explains that the name we have known her by for two decades, is the result of a "typo" and now, after twenty-plus years in the industry she is taking back the true spelling of her name: Thandiwe.
