Hi, I am Cindy Khoury Ashton, Founder of Brave Voices Rising (formally Brave Leaders Rising) and I am tired of seeing my colleagues do a Broadway run and then go back to struggling financially. Or my Hollywood colleagues finish filming a movie and waiting for the next yes.
We have the power to get paid for our work. Over my career, I've played outside the box and had some of these results...
I raised $30,000 through social media within a few weeks to produce my Award-Winning TV show Cindy Uncorked.
I never auditioned to be the headliner for Times Square Fashion Week.
I leveraged a connection to get my start as a Red Carpet Celebrity Interviewer.
If I can do it, so you can you! And I can't wait to teach you how.
My story began as a first generation Canadian with Palestinian/Lebanese parents. I was constantly bullied, being labelled as a second-class citizen and a terrorist. I changed my last name from Khoury to Ashton to hide my identity and moved high schools. The bullying stopped.
Having lived with multiple invisible disabilities since birth, in trying to advocate for my needs, I was often told "but you look fine," because people couldn't 'see' the illness. Between that experience and feeling like I had to hide that I was an Arab, left me feeling like I didn't matter.
It drove me into my lifelong obsession to make the world a better place as well as dedicate my life to getting my own voice heard as well as the voices of others.
I believe EVERY human, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual preference and socioeconomic status deserves equality, equal rights and equal opportunity. No one human is better than the other.
Us artists and creatives are the storytellers of the world and it's our time to shine and thrive.
Ever since I was a child, I have been the performer, teacher and advocate. I've spent my life speaking out on various causes which resulted in receiving awards from both Former President Obama and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
I've had the honor of gracing thousands of stages and screens as an Award-winning Television Host, Singer, Actor, Entertainer and Keynote Speaker. In each of my roles, I used my visibility to bring awareness and start conversations on important issues. And I continue to. That's what us true artists and creatives are made for!
Over my career, I learned the harsh reality of how many people in power used their platforms to serve their own interests when I found myself sharing stages with some of the biggest names on the planet.
It provoked me, after many years of training my Speak from Your Power® clients to close more sales in their business and get on stages, to also start teaching them how to grow their influence ethically and sustainably.
Which brings me to today...
It's a HUGE reason why my mission is to support people like YOU - brave, brilliant voices - to learn how to use your immense talents in a way that nourishes your soul while increasing your income.
