After more than twelve (12) years as a Consultant and Project Manager, Khrys Vaughan realized that although she had found formulas and solutions for everyone else, she had none that worked for her. What began as a brief hiatus, led to writing, the creation of #StrongWomenWrite, and creating platforms enabling others to challenge their notion of impossible. Khrys is vegan, collects red umbrellas, enjoys tea daily, and time with her family. www.KhrysVaughan.com
