Thank you for coming to my page; first, I pray that everyone is safe during this COVID-19 crisis.   

 Thank you for trusting and believing in me. Your voice through your votes on June 9, 2020, was heard! THANK YOU 

My name is Cynthia Yaxon, and I am a four and a half-year DeKalb County, GA resident.  I see the potential, beauty, and future within my district as well as within Dekalb County. I am a proud Woman of faith, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Bilingual, English and Spanish, and an Advocate for those in my community.  I believe that listening is a way of creating positive change.  I am real, I can lead, and  I am committed to dedicating my life to servicing my community and empowering your lives.   

I attended Southern New Hampshire University, where I studied Political Science, and I received an A.A. Degree in Liberal Arts and a Certification in Law and Legal Processes; I continue to study and plans to achieve my Doctorates in Law.  I am a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success or Sigma Alpha Pi and a member of the National Honor Society. 

I have been a vital member of the National Leadership and success chapter at Southern New Hampshire University.  I completed a very rigorous leadership training program. For me to receive membership in the Society, I had to attend many hours of training focused on teamwork, goal setting, high achievement, leadership skills and styles, self-motivation, and accountability.

With the training I received, I come prepared to take on any job or role because of the extensive training and education and experience I had throughout my life.

With continuous hours of hard work, and before receiving my membership and certificate, the process included qualifying by both staff at my college as well as an interview by the National Office once I passed my interview, I received membership as well as my Certificate of Leadership Training.   

I attended training broadcast with presenters such as Sir Richard Branson, Trevor Noah, Deepak Chopra, Arianna Huffington, and Anderson Cooper.  I also had bi-weekly meetings, where I learned how to use peer groups to increase performance and how to document my process to reach my goals.

I have over a decade and half of experience as an Entrepreneur focused in the Hospitality Industry, transportation, and nonprofit as an entrepreneur.  I am an advocate for the voiceless.

I have helped those in my community, and those who know me know I got your back.  I will always dedicate my life to empowering my community, women, men, children, and youth.

I believe our youth are the future doctors, lawyers, politicians, entrepreneurs, agriculturists, writes the list is endless to what we can build our children to be if we provide them with the necessary tools and guidance to get them there.

I especially look to empower our mothers and fathers who deserve a second chance, Single mothers, and single fathers who are working hard and want more for themselves but need help.

I had to fight like the world was against me because it was not always easy for me to fight the world around me, work, operate a business, raise a family, study, and fight an illness that tried to beat me.

However, I was not about to give up by letting the world beat me then and not now.  I looked to find the resources needed to continue my education.

I am hopeful about the future, and I know how important an education is and how hard it is to work and go to school.   I know that being able to work hard and continue reaching my goals has made me strong enough to lead with Commitment and achieve goals to bring about a better future for both my district and Dekalb County.

I know I was born a fighter, taking on classes when I was at fighting for my life, not one time did, I give up on my hopes and goals.  I hoped to one day be able to be a servant of the people and serve with all I have till the day I day and my hope of receiving my doctorates in law and law school.

Education is everything, but being able to self-motivate myself to achieve my dreams and goals was hard, but it also leads me on a path that I love.  I have a passion for writing and a stronger desire to empower others. 

I believe in being an advocate for those who are voiceless; I believe in myself, and I believe in you! I have helped many in my community and people I do not know who know me. I am the Voice for the Voiceless.

With my faith and faith, I have in my fellow brothers and sisters (You!), I know that together with your help and keeping you aware and involved, we can make Dekalb County District 1 a Prosperous and clean community.

I am committed to building a Stronger and More productive District and County!   I support positive steps to help bring about changes we need but mainly focuses on public safety, economic growth, education, clean water, and parks.

If elected, I will always make sure to keep you aware and included.  I work for you, so your vote for your choice.  But if you could vote for me on AUGUST 11, 2020, this is how we make a positive change and a difference. 

                            RUN-OFF AUGUST 11, 2020!

   My Commitment to you all who voted for a positive change!

As your candidate, I know the value and the importance of being aware and connected.  Like I stated before, I support positive steps to help bring about changes we need but mainly focuses on public safety, economic growth, education, clean water, and parks.

By being aware, we can create the positive change we want to see in the world. I read a quote that made me think of my reason for running as a public servant, my why, and a simple quote that defined my purpose.  

" you must be the change you wish to see in the world."- Gandhi

Therefore, I believe our shared goal is to see positive change, maybe its public safety, its infrastructure, taxes, or accountability, policy, or whatever it is I got you, and I understand because I am aware and here to work to help you with your issues. 

If I do not have the answer, I am that person who will knock on the doors until I find it!
