Karen Hansen
Advocate, Author, and Thought Leader.
Karen “Wren” Hansen is a multidisciplinary entrepreneur, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design from Florida State University. She has been a successful entrepreneur since 2001 and holds seven US Patents in product design. Based on the intimate details of her life experiences, in 2016, she began her journey as an advocate for victims and survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
"My story is a complex one, to say the least. I have experienced a good deal of trauma in my lifetime and have carried the weight of guilt, shame and embarrassment surrounding those stories and memories...
​
...I have survived childhood sexual abuse by family members, college campus rape and a resulting pregnancy, domestic violence with restraining orders, robberies, and embezzlement by family, and what I can tell you for sure, is that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, whether you like it or not."
