Cynthia was born in Honolulu , Hawaii. She was dedicated at six months of age to the Goddess Pele.
In 1996, after receiving a Vision, Cynthia moved from the East Coast to New Mexico. After meeting with the Elders, Leon Secatero, Headman of the Canoncito Band of Navajo, and Don Alejandro, "the Wandering Wolf" Maya Quiche Spiritual Leader, we began working on a Gathering of Elders from North, Central and South America in fulfillment of the Prophesy; " The Eagle and the Condor will Mate. The Feminine must come Forward."
Cynthia was initiated in 1998 as a priestess in the Mayan tradition. She was baptized with her Mayan name, Julaju Keme, at the Sacred Lake Atitlan. Co- founder, Secretary/ Treasurer of the nonprofit organization Friends of the Indigenous Elders, Cynthia was able to respond to the call from Grandfather Martin Martinez, a Navajo Elder, to produce the Documentary; The Sodizin Ceremony - The Reunion of Mother Earth With Her Children.
