“How do you pronounce Kawania?”

Whenever I meet someone new, the first question I’m typically asked is, “How do you pronounce your name?”  It’s “Kah Won Nee Ah.”  As a little girl, I learned to help people pronounce my name by explaining that, “every letter in my name is pronounced.” I found that little tip did the trick.

By the way, I used to go by the nickname of “Kay,” but I decided to stop using it a couple of years ago. I didn’t make some big “P Diddy” announcement — I just stopped using it.

Hey! The next time we’re together, remind me to tell you a funny story about my name.  (I love a good story and I cannot wait to hear yours.)
