Hello.
I want to share with you a journey that reshaped my world—a story of love, loss, and the enduring power of resilience. It's the story of how the darkest moments led to my life's mission: to empower women who, like me, have been touched by domestic violence and to build a future where hope outshines fear.
Thank you for taking this moment to walk with me through my journey.
Her journey.
Kris faced an unimaginable tragedy when her daughter Miranda, just shy of her fourth birthday, was taken from this world in a heart-wrenching act of violence by her own father. Her profound loss, occurring under the chilling indifference of a justice system that failed to protect them, transformed Kris's life forever.
In the wake of this devastating event, Kris embarked on a journey of healing and purpose. She embraced her grief, recognizing it as a vital part of her path to recovery. Determined not to be silenced, Kris became a vocal advocate against domestic violence, channeling her pain into support for others facing similar horrors. Her transformation from a shy, meek woman to a driven force of advocacy and support is a testament to her resilience.
Kris's advocacy goes beyond sharing her story; it's about creating a legacy of hope and positive change from the tragedy of losing Miranda. She has dedicated herself to helping others navigate the complexities of domestic violence, speaking at trainings and conventions across the country. Her message is not just about the sorrow of her past but also about finding hope and happiness again, a beacon of light for others in the darkness of abuse.
This journey of resilience and advocacy honors Miranda's memory, transforming a narrative of loss into one of empowerment and change. It's a story of finding strength in the face of the unthinkable and turning a personal tragedy into a crusade for justice and healing.
Today, Kris finds solace and joy in Louisiana. Alongside her loving husband, she cherishes the simple, peaceful moments amidst nature and their beloved pets. She is also a devoted mother to her grown children, Tanner and Emma, who continue to be a source of love and inspiration. In this serene setting, Kris finds room for healing and happiness, complementing her tireless work in advocacy and support for others.
