Meet Cindy Sims, the inspiration behind our Brilliant Eye Brightener™ Eyeshadow Stick in shade ‘Sugar Plum Shimmer’.

Since 2018, Cindy has served as Executive Director of Center of Hope Tennessee, working alongside survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking as they take courageous steps toward safety and stability. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, Cindy ensures survivors know they are not alone and that confidential support is available when they need it most.

At Center of Hope, Cindy leads with the belief that every survivor deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported. Her work focuses on creating pathways out of abuse by connecting individuals and families to resources that restore dignity, autonomy, and hope for the future.

Founded in 1989, Center of Hope Tennessee provides comprehensive, confidential services designed to meet survivors where they are. From short and long-term housing to case management, court advocacy, outreach services, and therapeutic counseling, the organization supports survivors through every stage of healing. Whether addressing immediate needs like shelter and safety planning or long-term goals like employment and permanent housing, Center of Hope helps survivors rebuild their lives at their own pace.

Since 2019, Thrive Causemetics has proudly partnered with Center of Hope Tennessee, donating over $1.4 million in products to support survivors and their families. These donations help create moments of self-care and normalcy – small but meaningful reminders of strength during a time of rebuilding.

Cindy’s leadership embodies what Brilliant Eye Brightener™ represents: light in moments of darkness and the confidence to move forward. Her work reminds us that when survivors are met with compassion, care, and community support, healing is possible.
