Amina Al-Sadi is a 25-year-old American Muslim and Northwest native. She's currently observing the holy month of Ramadan. This year in the west, Ramadan lines up with the summer solstice. Fasting days are the longest they've been in decades. Our series "Amina on Ramadan" begins with Amina's perspective on giving up food and drink during the longest days of summer.
