New York, NY – On Saturday March 26, 2016, Haitian American Author Cindy Similien-Johnson will be one of the panelists at the EVE WITHIN CONFERENCE, a two-day conference for individuals fighting to bridge the gap between where they are and where they dream to be in life. The event will be held at Rise – NY Auditorium (28 West 24th Street, New York, NY 10010). Ms. Similien-Johnson will speak at two panels: the “Entrepreneurs Workshop” at 12:15 p.m.; and, the “Birthing Your Book Workshop” at 1:00pm.
The Eve Within Conference is organized by Ms. Imani Coles. She said, “I expect the Eve Within Conference to stir the hearts of every attendee and prompt them to pursue their dreams. I’m hosting it so that each participant will know they are not alone on their journey, God created them to live a life filled with purpose, and Eve Within will stand as a community to help them get where they are headed.”
Ms. Cindy Similien-Johnson understands the importance of being the woman God created her to be. She said, “In 2014, my mentor, Karen Hoyos, the world renowned transformational coach and inspirational speaker, asked me, ‘Cindy, if you had all of the money in the world, and did all you ever dreamt of – traveling the world, shopping, donating to charities, etc. – what would you do with the rest of your time?’ She went on to say, ‘The first answer that comes to your mind is your purpose – the reason why you are alive.'” Soon thereafter, Cindy founded CSJ Media Publishing as a platform to use her gifts and talents in writing to uplift others. She’s now the author of several books, including “How to Stay Motivated: Inspiration and Advice for Everyday Living.” She’s also the author of the bestselling e-cookbook series, “Cook Like A Haitian.”
As recently appointed Board Member of the United Nations Association-Brooklyn Chapter, she engages her community to understand and support the indispensable role of the United Nations in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals. She’s also the founder of Goal Chic, an organization whose mission is to inspire, encourage, and empower women to understand their value, find their passion, and live a more purposeful life. Its first annual conference will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2016.She attributes her success to her faith in God. “With God I can do all things,” she said, referencing a Scriptural verse found in Philippians 4:13.
“Yes, I know the importance of discovering one’s purpose,” she said. “The moment a person gets silent about what’s important to her, she begins to die. This weekend, I will encourage all attendees to speak up and do what God created them to do!”
Other panelists include Rasheed Khan, Jeanelle Drysdale, Mary Jones, Chris Coleman, William Coles, Renee Sealey, and Sharelle Cameron.
