How Do You Say Y’all in Spanish?

  And yet Yuri Cunza, President of the Nashville Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, is quick to remind folks that: “…Hispanic entrepreneurs aren’t expecting trophies for working hard, but simply to have the opportunity to live in dignity within their community. They’re just grateful to be in a place where free enterprise flourishes and people of all backgrounds can work hard to make a better life for themselves and their families.” Expect the city of Nashville to change as the Hispanic population grows. Sure it’s likely you will hear more Spanish on Honky Tonk Row, but it’s also more likely that you will see a city that’s younger, more ambitious and more willing to take chances. Of course, this demographic shift will bring challenges including transportation and infrastructure considerations, but this is a natural result that comes with success. The interesting question will be how quickly Nashville’s Hispanic population will mobilize and organize as a political force in order to influence city and county decisions. Stay tuned. Nashville is on the rise. Related articles: One Out of Four Kindergarteners is Hispanic Does Immigration Benefit Business? Hispanic Entrepreneur Yields A Taste of Success
