Cindy Ma
World Ancestor Concert Studio Host
Cindy Ma, Host and Founder of SHE Living TV, is a facilitator, translator and bridge between worlds. She grew up as a Chinese-American with a background in health care management and policy. Cindy lived in Shanghai, China for 6 years, where she founded SHE Advisory and SHE Living TV. Cindy and SHE Living TV are now both based in Berkeley, CA. She is a mother of three children, and as such, is primarily concerned for what kind of future they will inherit, and how best to prepare them for it. She sees women and mothers across the world sharing the same concerns, and therefore founded SHE to serve as a media platform and hub, bringing together our collective questions and concerns with experts and visionaries, so we can problem solve together. She is a passionate, heart-centered inquisitor, a nourisher and a reflector, and believer in women to lead the way in restoring balance to our world.

♦ World Ancestor Concert
The World Ancestor Concert is developed as a 3-day televised motivational, global healing concert created in part as a celebration of the world’s Ancestors, their traditions and cultures. Powered by internationally and regionally known conscious and traditional musicians and artists, this profound concert event is created to shine a light on the amazing contributions and lives of our Ancestors and the amazing work of their children, the activists and social change organizations that the Concert will feature throughout the event.
Our theme is Women, Water & Peace and gives this important and timely event a focus that is profound and present.
The World Ancestor Concert, though similar in some ways to other musical shows like that of Global Citizen (NYC), Festival in the Desert (Africa) or the Equal Justice Initiative Association’s Concert for Peace and Justice (Alabama, USA) is differentiated and empowered by a number of exceptional elements:
- multi-cultural programming
- multi-generational programming, presence and prospective audience
- multi-hour children’s/youth programming segment
- Women’s International Drum Summit
- tributes to Standing Rock water protectors and the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers
- Calling of Names – tribute to the Ancestors of the Global Village
- integrated interview and presentation segments by indigenous and international activists and organizations
- integrated international viewing party campaign
