Our Team

At a vulnerable 16, a series of arguments with my aunt left me homeless and terrified. For nine agonising months, I drifted – nights huddled in a police station, days spent pretending everything was okay. I'd wake up early to use the public toilets at the shopping center, a small act of normalcy amidst the chaos. Clinging to that normalcy became my mission. Little did I know, this hardship would be the seed of something much bigger. Today, I'm Cynthia, founder of "She Believes She Can" Community. We empower young girls, equipping them with the tools and mindset to thrive. But my journey wasn't always sunshine. As a Mind and Body Coach, I spent over 7 years helping women unlock their potential. This passion stemmed from a dark time – my experience with homelessness and depression. During that struggle, I discovered the transformative power of movement & exercise. These became my lifeline, a way to regain control over my mind and body. Now, driven by my own experience, I focus on the younger generation. "She Believes She Can" is my way of providing them with the guidance and support I craved at that age. My story is a testament to resilience and determination. It's a reminder that with self-belief and support, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness. And that's the message I want to share with every girl who walks through our doors.
