Meet The CEO
At a mere 23 years old, India Cade embarked on a remarkable journey, establishing The Children SOAR Inc. Her indomitable spirit and drive were cultivated during her tenure at Savannah State University, where she pursued her education from 2016 to 2020. Notably, she ardently advocated for the preservation of Africana Studies as a major at her alma mater, demonstrating a deep commitment to academic excellence. Additionally, she played a pivotal role in ensuring the continued presence of one of the most esteemed professors on campus, further highlighting her dedication to the educational community.
Beyond her academic achievements, India showcased her creativity through her alter ego, Indigo, a moniker she assumed while gracing the stage with powerful Spoken Word performances. These pieces, focused on themes of women empowerment and self-awareness, reflected her multifaceted talents. In true entrepreneurial spirit, she ventured into business ownership with the establishment of IndigoMinks, an eyelash business designed to foster self-love and happiness among women.
India’s ambition knew no bounds, extending to roles as an author and motivational speaker. Her versatility as a jack-of-all-trades is noteworthy, but her most profound mastery lies in her unwavering commitment to community service. A guiding principle from her time at Savannah State University, encapsulated in the phrase “You can get Anywhere from Here,” has become a beacon illuminating her path.
Today, as the Founder of The Children SOAR Inc, India’s journey began in fourth grade when she passed a Boys & Girls Club, sparking a vision of starting a nonprofit for students of that age. Her mission is deeply rooted in the desire to give back to children who share her background—black, minority, intelligent, growing up in poverty, and residing in a single-parent home. Recognizing the escalating influence of social media, India envisions providing students with a secure environment where they can be authentic, unlocking their latent potential and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. This profound realization struck her in fourth grade, fueling her commitment to ensuring that students like her receive the opportunities they deserve. Years later, she has come to understand that she is the advocate these students need, the one who will steadfastly fight for their future.
