Atlanta native Cynthia Daniels has leveled up the event planning world in the city of Memphis. Although she’s only been here for less than a decade, her impact is explosive. You may have been to one of her signature events such as Memphis Black Restaurant Week, Top 40 Under 40 Urban Elite Professionals, Level Up Conference, Black Christmas Expo or Black Bridal Expo. She has built an empire of opportunities under Cynthia Daniels & Co. to make an economic influence this city has not seen in a long time. As you will hear on episode 40, Cynthia truly believes that black excellence should be celebrated in a city comprised of majority African Americans. You will also notice that I wanted to dig a little deeper into what shaped this powerful woman. This podcast is full of fun facts about Cynthia’s upbringing in Atlanta, her academic experience at Alabama A&M University, pledging Delta Sigma Theta, her short-lived music career and the reasons behind her pivotal transition to Memphis, TN. We even delve into her dating life or lack thereof at the moment. Notice I said at the moment. If you know Cynthia or even follow her on social media, you know that she is a hip hop head, specifically 90’s genre. I even attempted to quiz her on some Old School Hip Hop to no avail. Take a listen to episode 40, as Cynthia and I catch up and explore life changing moments that have led her to flourishing in the birthplace of the blues Memphis, TN.
