Meet Sixcia
“You can be a hero. You can do good in your community by taking action every day.”
Sixcia Devine’s Story
Sixcia's major interest is in helping businesses understand the power and impact of connecting with important causes that help businesses, non-profits and communities. She has learned through her travels around the globe that simplicity is key and educating businesses helps famlies and helps the world.
“My upbringing helped me to appreciate life and take action.”
After climbing her way out of challenging situations with hard work and study, she turned her attention to improving the lives of others. Sixcia was struck by the great need of women and children in impoverished areas of Latin America. Using creativity and a small pot savings, she launched the nonprofit Caritas Smile in 2010 which has touched the lives of 10,000+ people by rebuilding homes and schools, supplying educational and medical resources at orphanages, and uplifting communities in the poorest areas of Latin America and the USA.
“I’m living proof that small steps have big impacts.”
Now, as part of the “Grow With Google” national program, Sixcia is travelling America, educating business owners and universities on topics of digital marketing and making a difference through business and entrepreneurship.
