ABOUT KRISTIN VAUGHAN
As Chief Content Officer of BlackDoctor.org (BDO), I help drive the strategy creation, development, and execution of content across all digital platforms. I oversee a team of editors, content creators, medical contributors, and multimedia producers, working cross-departmentally to expand BDO’s reach, refine its voice, and amplify its impact. As a seasoned editor, writer, and content strategist with more than 25+ years in media, print, and digital publishing, I began my career as a newspaper reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Palm Beach Post before transitioning to digital media. I went on to focus on women’s lifestyle content, books, and entertainment news at major Black media and digital health media outlets, including ESSENCE, Black Entertainment Television (BET) and Everyday Health (EH), where I held senior editorial positions at each. At EH, I oversaw daily editorial website content, newsletters, social media accounts, mobile apps, video, SEO, and third-party sponsorships for several popular subscription websites of health, wellness, and fitness experts, including Jillian Michaels, Denise Austin, and NBC’s TODAY nutrition expert Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, to name a few. Before joining BDO in Aug. 2025, I founded Kriss Cross Media, a boutique content and brand strategy firm. There, I developed strategic communications plans,(re)launched websites, created thought-leadership pieces, and ghost wrote for executives and celebrities. Over my 25+ year career, my writing has been published in The Boston Globe, Black Enterprise, Ms, The Kansas City Star, and many other national publications and websites. I contributed to two book anthology series, co-authored a children’s picture book, and am currently working on my debut novel. A native of Columbia, Maryland, I am a proud graduate of Howard University (#UKnow) with a master’s degree from the University of Maryland, College Park.
