CINCINNATI, Ohio – Two people helped nudge DEI Visioneer & Vice President of Creativity and Imagineering Cynthia Grow to where she is today – a nun and a Jeep factory credit union manager .

Sister Jacinta probably prevented Grow from making the biggest mistake of her life.

"Here I was, this girl growing up in Toledo, Ohio and up until my sophomore year in high school I planned to be a nun," said Grow. "And Sister Jacinta was a big reason why. She used to write in this turquoise ink and she just really influenced me. So one day during that summer a woman wearing a bikini called my name and I asked her if she knew me. She answered yes and that she used to be Sister Jacinta. Well I just was so shocked, devastated that I just ran away from her but she eventually caught me and insisted that I date for at least one year before entering the convent-and of course once I started dating well, any thoughts of the convent just left. But I kept in touch with her because she really did me a favor."
