MEET OUR Board of directors
Cynthia Davis-Vanloo (she / her)

Phoenix Consultants, LLP; North Seattle College
When I think of Powerful Voices, I think of supporting girls of color on their journeys to being authentic, courageous change makers in their own lives and the lives of others. I think of possibility, liberation, and radical reimagination.
I joined Powerful Voices because I see it as an opportunity to use my knowledge and skills to be an active collaborator in reimagining and creating critical social change rooted in the potential of girls of color.
For self-care, I contemplate, connect with family, walk outdoors, have meaningful conversations, read, write and rest – not all in one day.
Kayla S. Lewis (she / her)
Treasurer, 2020 - 2023
Union Bank
When I think of Powerful Voices, I think of a safe space for young WOC to discover how to use their gift of leadership and passions to help grow and cultivate the communities around them.
I joined Powerful Voices to give back to a community that is often overlooked and under appreciated, as I know what how hard it can be to navigate on your own.
My perfect day is me sleeping in and waking up to a beautiful sunny day. Then, my amazing pup and I would walk to get tacos!
Julie Feng (she / her)
Director, 2020 - 2023; Interim Secretary, 2022 - 2023
Scholar Fund
When I think of Powerful Voices, I think of possibility, liberation, and radical reimagination.
I joined Powerful Voices because I believe in the brilliance of girls* of color and I know we can collectively create new worlds.
A perfect day to me looks like an adventure to a new place. Plus lots of excellent food!
