Testimonials

Over the course of the last six semesters, Cindy has been a guest lecturer in my course, meeting with the students as a class on multiple occasions and with each student individually. Her expertise in creative expression has unleashed the creative potential of these students who have imagined their projects through music, poetry, design and the spectrum of visual arts.

Cindy is tremendously passionate and energetic about using artistic expression as a means of self-discovery. She encourages people to explore issues of self-identity, social justice, history, personal growth and countless other topics. Her passion and energy to pull talent out of people has given a voice to the voiceless and brought so many out of their self-imposed shells.

Ms. Young has experience with creating and implementing successful, unique art events and opportunities. She is known as an intentional, valued and successful mentor. Her events are infused with energy and opportunities for students to shine. You would never regret hiring Ms. Young.

One of the greatest lessons that Cindy has taught me is the ability to “create something out of nothing” by accepting uncertainty and expanding narrowed definitions of what it means to be creative.

Ms. Young has a unique approach to engaging her attendees and reaching into their inner-selves. She takes them on a journey of self examination and helps them to open psychological doors which may have been slammed shut for various reasons. Everyone experienced a personal renewal after a session with Cindy.

Working with Cindy gave me the opportunity to do what I did not even know I needed: to tell my grandmother’s story. By working with Cindy, I came to better know myself, my family, and how my grandmother’s experience shaped my interests and perspective today.

Cindy invited me to practice the art of individuality, to discover what it meant to be me, and to create that meaning if need be. She set me free to experiment and explore, with her vision as guidance and a journal for a magnifying glass. The best part? You are never alone. Cindy is there every step of the way.

Ms Cindy assisted me with a TEDx talk that I gave in the fall of 2016 at Vanderbilt University. She masterfully listened to me and was able to help me mold my vision for my entire presentation. With her guidance I was able to present in a manner that felt true to myself and my personal story. As she assisted me, I was able to have a deeper understanding of the direction that I was seeking to go into.

Cindy gave me clear, honest feedback, and she helped me reengage with the emotions and the conviction that drove me to audition for TEDx in the first place. Her advice and encouragement during our meeting played a valuable and significant role in shaping my final talk.
