Cecelia Viel

Founder and Director

Rooted in Community. Driven by Purpose.

I believe that with the right resources and a supportive community, anyone can start anew. As the Founder and Director of StartAnew, my mission is to help create spaces where Black and Brown women, girls, families, and community members can access support, advocacy, resources, and encouragement as they move toward healing, stability, and self-defined success.

“I believe stigma should never define a person. It is never too late to follow your dreams, reclaim your voice, and keep moving forward.”
