Music icon and philanthropist

A tireless advocate, the 71-year-old singer has been fighting for women's rights, people living with HIV/AIDS, and the LGBTQ+ community for decades.

Cyndi has also worked with many organisations that focus on these issues, such as the Human Rights Campaign.

In 2008, Cyndi co-founded 'True Colours United' in a bid to bring homelessness to an end amongst LGBTQ+ youth.

Over the past 14 years, the non-profit organisation has made a lasting impact on ending youth homelessness in America.
