Amina Luqman-Dawson: Hi, my name is Amina Luqman-Dawson. And that's Amina, it starts with sort of an "UH" like upload or something -- uh-MEAN-uh And the name means "faithful" and "honest", which I always liked. I thought that was a cool meaning to have for a name. Luqman is pronounced LUKE-mahn But when I was a kid, everyone would think the Q in my name was a G. And so they'd always say Lugman, which I really didn't like at all. And so they'd say, Look-Man, and I'm like, "No, it's Luqman." And then Dawson is the name I got when I married my husband. So it's Amina Luqman-Dawson.
