Who is Cindy Rivers?

That’s a great question!

I’m a transgender woman that finally decided to stop hiding and be who I was meant to be. I came out at the tender age of 30 while living in Fort McMurray, AB, Canada, currently based in Edmonton, AB. I moved to Fort McMurray when I was 18, originally from the small town of Port Blandford in Newfoundland. After coming out and having to make a quick career pivot, I decided to get standup comedy off the bucket list but ended up falling in love with the stage, performing, and writing. The rest is history as they say, it’s actually way more complicated but it could fill a novel, so buy my book! Sales genius aren’t I? I carved a nice little career in comedy, acting, public speaking, and yes, really wrote a book about my life.
I have two beautiful daughters, my little chi-weenie named Dill, and an amazing supportive partner who is the love of my life.

Stay tuned, so much more cool stuff coming.
