Cindy Marie Jenkins

I write, parent, edit, and consult. Often at the same time.

Who Am I?

Do you know what I love to do more than anything else? Run an outreach table at a community event. There is something so exciting about working on a project for months or years and sharing it. Every month or so, you throw up a table, a canopy, and fun games to attract people, and this introverted writer turns into a carnival barker.

It wouldn’t take long to find photos of me behind outreach tables helping my parents’ community theater growing up. I’ve run outreach tables all around Los Angeles in my neighborhood council days, brought my family magazine to multiple fairs in Beijing, and now represent Out Think Media at places like the Orlando Fringe Festival. I am very happy there is more to come.

Writer

I write at the intersection of parenting and work/travel/pop culture. While working in New York and Los Angeles theaters, I love storytelling in different mediums and environments, even in marketing. After writing around the world for a while, I found my niche in reviewing and curating kids’ media for families.

Editor

I work with arts and media companies that need to build a content strategy and work as a Development Editor for individuals or organizations. I have edited for print and digital, believe it or not, and love nothing more than an editorial calendar.

Deputy Managing Editor, BeijingKids, now JingKids Interntional, (2020-2021)
