Back in 1997, when the web was really starting to boom, I was searching for a unique login/member name that I could use from site to site. After much thought and searching, I settled on sekaye. Sekaye [seh KY uh] is a Swahili term for either "sunshine" or "laughter" - I've heard both definitions. During that time, I was working as a carnivore keeper at the Knoxville Zoological Gardens. The newly built Pridelands exhibit was home to three adolescent lions: Aslan, the male, and Sylvan and Sekaye, lionesses. Sekaye was born in the Indianapolis Zoo, and transferred to the Knoxville Zoo when she was 18 months old.
