Illation is a noun that means an inferred conclusion. The Latin word illatio (ee LAH cho) means ‘to bring in or carry.’ When we arrive at an illation, we are bringing in a conclusion based on what we’ve inferred. When Gene hinted that Thursday might be a good day to cancel work and allow all employees to stay home and have cake while opening presents, the illation I gathered was that Thursday was his birthday. Gene never was subtle when it came to dropping hints.

Gene Binh Nguyen, the youngest of two children, grew up with a widowed mom. His father died in the Vietnam war when he was just two months old. Because Gene’s father fought on the South Vietnamese side, his family was ostracized in the new government regime. When Gene and his family finally escaped from Vietnam, they were put in one of the toughest neighborhoods in Los Angeles California, where he faced racism, violence and gang life daily, while his mom tried to make ends meet. But despite all the challenges, he turned adversity into opportunity and opportunity into advocacy for the Vietnamese community. Gene became a successful entrepreneur and went on to help thousands of Vietnamese refugees and immigrants thrive in the booming nail salon industry.  Gene is the owner of Present Restaurant in Arlington, Virgina and Saigon Street at the MGM National Harbor, Maryland.
