Hello, I'm Cynthia—a soul care advocate, trauma healing facilitator, dedicated educator and an active collaborator on wellness initiatives. I'm blessed to be Doug's wife and a mother of three incredible children. Over the past 30 years, I've devoted myself to full-time urban ministry which includes mentoring, initiating micro-churches, coordinating prayer efforts, and providing guidance on member care. My passion extends to addressing issues related to generational historical trauma, God's righteousness and justice, and the whole gospel for the whole person. I focus specifically on emotional and spiritual wellness for urban workers, particularly within the framework of Black and African American spirituality and history.​ I envision vibrant urban workers experiencing transformation through a shared effort that uplifts the well-being of the entire community. My purpose is to nurture God’s deeper value of hope, health, and renewal through the restorative rhythms of life. Through compassionate support in education, advocacy, health initiatives, and spiritual practices for soul care, I seek to create a holistic environment where healing and growth flourish. Ultimately, I long to see communities genuinely united, living and working from a sustainable rhythm that nourishes both body and soul. In the face of adversity, failures, and grief, I've become a certified Trauma Healing Facilitator through the Trauma Healing Institute. I'm also engaged in training with the Cultural Somatic Training & Institute and am pursuing my Spiritual Direction Certification through Sustainable Faith. My aspiration is to thrive within a community committed to internal and external freedom, exploring how God heals wounds caused by caste systems while also examining the intersection of God's justice, mercy, and grace. Beyond my occupational endeavors, I find joy in comedy, fantasy, and action-adventure movies. I enjoy reading a good book in cozy serene natural settings, attending theater shows, camping, sharing laughter, participating in spiritual retreats, and cherishing meaningful friendships.
