Today's guest on the Everything Matters Podcast is Nadia Rahali. Nadia and I met just a couple of years ago, and right away we knew we were kindred spirits; connected souls on a mission to make a difference in the world. We immediately developed a tremendous amount of respect for one another due to our shared commitment of serving humanity with our lives and our talents. We have forged a sister/brother-like, unbreakable bond in a very brief timeframe.

Nadia grew up with both her mother and father, and witnessed a very kind and loving relationship between them as a child. They took the time to ensure she was well educated around who she was and the rich heritage from which she hails. She is a Daddy's girl from Casablanca, a city located i North Africa. Nadia  shares her story of how she grew up with big dreams of someday moving to America. After high school she came to America to study the giants of the Civil Rights movements, whom she read about in school books and heard about through empowering stories her parents and relatives shared with her as a child. She boldly moved to the United States to fulfill her dream of attending university here; she chose Old Dominion University in the state of Virginia and studied African American studies, a topic that fascinated her since she was a little girl. 

In her 20s she found herself involved in an abusive relationship and marriage, and like many other in those same situations, found it very difficult to locate an exit for herself. She would soon find the support, resources and ultimately the strength and courage to stand up for herself and finally say goodbye. She never looked back and has gone on to  build a wonderful life and career that she is very proud of.  Nadia currently works with the United Way organization, where she networks with and wines and dines major financial movers and shakers to encourage and inspire them to direct their efforts to supporting the Loudermilk Center of Atlanta, GA. She also consults privately with other organizations to develop fundraising strategies to identify sources to help them achieve their financial goals. This is an extraordinary American story - one of thousands of immigrants who came across the Atlantic to find the American Dream.
