Why We’re Different
Women deserve more than a list of resources.
They deserve real connection, practical care, and a community that meets them where they are.
Faith-Rooted Support
Guidance, prayer, mentorship, and encouragement grounded in faith, family, values, tradition, compassion, and service.
Help for Real-Life Challenges
Resources, referrals, education, and essential support for women facing crisis, transition, uncertainty, or change.
Community Without Judgment
A welcoming community centered on care, truth, and compassion — not pressure, shame, or political activism.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Cynthia Hughes is the founder of The Hughes Foundation and SHE & Co., a faith-rooted support initiative being created to help women find encouragement, mentorship, practical resources, and meaningful community during life's most difficult seasons.
The vision for SHE & Co. grew from Cynthia's own experiences navigating hardship and searching for support without feeling judged, dismissed, or pressured. She understands how isolating life can become when a woman is facing crisis, transition, grief, illness, family challenges, or uncertainty and does not know where she can safely turn. Those experiences inspired Cynthia to build the kind of community she once needed herself: a place where women can be heard, cared for, and supported without shame.
SHE & Co. is being developed as a welcoming community for women from every walk of life, regardless of race, religious background, political beliefs, personal history, or present circumstances. Its purpose is not to judge women, impose beliefs, or push a political agenda. Its purpose is to ensure that women have access to trusted relationships, compassionate guidance, practical assistance, educational resources, and genuine friendship.
Guided by Christian principles of faith, service, dignity, compassion, and respect for life, Cynthia believes that women do not have to share the organization's beliefs to be treated with the love and care those beliefs require.
Through mentorship, local and online SHE Circles, workshops, professional referrals, practical support, and community partnerships, Cynthia's goal is to create an enduring network of women helping women.
