More than five years ago Nayla came to my 60th birthday party, an intimate dinner prepared by my favorite chef, my lovely wife.

I didn’t know her story. But no sooner than I pulled up a chair and began listening, I was inspired by the grit and work ethic of this lovely woman.

Not to mention her HUGE heart !

Nayla and her husband Dr. Carlos Rish own and operate Centro Medico Latino here in Charlotte, NC and along with their staff serve well over 50,000 patients, most of them immigrants.

That’s why her own story of becoming an American citizen and entrepreneur is so compelling.
