Todays the day! Its Baby Sisters naming ceremony, and big sister Amira could not be more excited. She has the perfect name picked out . . . or, at least, she hopes its the perfect name.
Seina Wedlick originally hails from Nigeria but now makes her home in California. A woman of many talents, Wedlick has worked in Silicon Valley for Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon as a technical project manager, and has a masters in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University. When not writing or working on special projects, Welick can be found spending time with her husband and two young children, who each received over 30 names from family and friends in their own naming ceremonies. Jenin Mohammed was born and raised in Miramar, Florida. She comes from African American and Caribbean ancestry. Thanks to her Christian/Muslim upbringing, she is on a never-ending quest to find halal versions of her favorite southern dishes. Mohammeds interests include creating henna art, freestyle rapping (very badly), and pen-tapping offbeat.
