Response to NBC article from Linking the World ED
I don't believe we can (or should) include this in the article until or unless it's reported by a tertiary source, but as of today (Nov 13, 2019) the home page for Linking the World features a lengthy critique of the NBC investigation article at issue. Funcrunch (talk) 21:54, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
On the alma mater / alumna controversy
So in reference to the editing/edit-warring over whether or not Chang is a Harvard alum: According to the currently cited sources, her online bios state that she is an alumna of Harvard Business School. They do not state that she graduated from that school. The controversy raised by the NBC investigation (and sources linking to it) is whether her saying that she is an alumna implies that she graduated from that school. Without stating my opinion on that matter (which is irrelevant anyway), I caution that we need to be specific with the words we choose when editing this BLP.

Other names used
According to her album "Adore" (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mina-Chang-Adore-cd-Christmas-Holiday-Music-Album-/191830015502), her full name is/was Sharon "Mina Chang" Chandiramani. She used Mina Chang for her stage name. Her former husband is Dinesh Chandiramani. Her current husband is Jake Harriman. So, her first name appears to be Sharon, Chang might be her maiden and current last name. She also went by Sharon Chandiramani or Sharon M. Chandiramani (https://www.campcreativegroup.com/portfolio/hyphen-construction/; Hyphen Construction was apparently her first husband's company, while for a time she was the owner of Hyphen Media Group).
Brain cancer in 2013
Her 2014 profile in Dallas Observer (https://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/singer-turned-activist-mina-chang-now-faces-the-biggest-challenge-of-her-life-7088345) states that she was diagnosed with brain cancer in May 2013, and she had been undergoing chemotherapy for almost a year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.154.3 (talk) 03:03, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
