Shams Nelson: Hey, my name is Shams Nelson. My name Shams is the American pronunciation for my Arabic name, Shamseddiin, which is difficult to translate. Shams means sun in the sky, and Eddiin is the way or the faith, the way of life. My parents used to translate it as spirit of the sun, but it's a little more nuanced than that.
