CYM

Close Your Mouth

Close your mouth, open your ears.
Listen and learn from all you hear.
Close your mouth, open your ears.
And you’ll get smarter over the years.

Mission: Closing your mouth and listening is a key element to living a healthy, safe and productive life.

Who is CYM?

CYM’s roots began in North Africa. He is “ Cymkin”, who grew from the fox family. CYM is a mystery traveler who arrived in the United States, because he attached himself with the Charlottesville Delegation, a group of local residents who visited their sister city,  Winneba, Ghana to learn more about the transAtlantic slave trade and visit historical sites. CYM has a thirst for learning, is an avid listener, he thinks before he speaks and works to get along with others. He is a great friend who bends and twists his body to fill small spaces in people’s belongings so he can travel wherever they go. CYM does not show anger, hold grudges or create drama. Always take CYM with you – Your journey will be happier and a more positive adventure!
