Team Leaders
Cyntha Simpson
Shower Power Cyntha has 18 months experience with Shower Power and is an expert with handling the intricacies of deploying mobile amenities. She will expand this role to deploy aligned Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) amenities. She is a strong-willed and positive leader, who is able to connect and ally with our unhoused community. Her motivations are strengthened by her determination to create a strong family for her newborn child and partner, O’Neill Fernandez. They have recently secured permanent housing for their family. She was born in San Pablo and raised in Richmond.
