Cynthia Harbor is a writer, strategist, and cultural preservationist shaped by the tides of South Carolina’s Lowcountry and the rhythms of Gullah Geechee life. She seeks to write stories that honor the memory, magic, and resilience of her people. Her work offers readers a textured view of the South—told through the lens of lived experience and a deep reverence for heritage.

But her work doesn’t end with the written word. Cynthia is also an award-winning technology professional and certified project management leader with more than two decades of experience. As the founder of a woman-owned media company, she brings the same intentionality and creativity from her literary work into the worlds of tech, education, and entrepreneurship. Her efforts bridge two worlds—engineering digital solutions while anchoring them in cultural truth.

Cynthia believes storytelling is a form of resistance, and technology is a tool for empowerment. She is passionate about mentoring women in STEM, capturing the voices of Gullah elders, encouraging the imagination of Gullah youth, and supporting special needs families with care and advocacy.

Her leadership and service have been recognized with the Women Making a Mark Award from Atlanta Magazine. She has also proudly volunteered with the Atlanta Women’s Foundation and other community-focused organizations dedicated to uplifting women and families.

At every step, Cynthia’s journey reflects this simple truth: roots matter, and so does the road ahead.
