We had the good fortune of connecting with Kalaigh Sullins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kalaigh, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I feel like taking risk can be a good and bad thing. Depending on what type of risk you take can be a good thing. The risk I am taking for my life/ career is getting my name out there to help other people.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have started a non- profit called Project Empowerment that will help empower others to start an business and help with mental health issues. I am most excited because I was able to start something that I always wanted to do. It has not been easy. Had some minor setbacks because of cost and I didnt know how to start it. I overcame the challenges by actually saving some money to start and just starting. I want the world to know that if small town girl can start it you can too.
