Cynthia Hellen is the definition of a boss. She’s a serial social entrepreneur. She’s inspirational, ambitious, and stunning. She’s easy to love. On her way to building a future, her fiancé, Ryan, found out he had advanced liver disease. Ryan fought for over 18 months to overcome his diagnosis but it wasn’t enough. At the young age of 30, he passed away. Cynthia speaks candidly about her journey as the daughter of immigrant parents who fled from Peru to America as asylum seekers, being a young caretaker, losing the love of her life, and how she’s learning to celebrate Ryan’s life and legacy.
