Who are we?

Who is Cleopatra Vaughn?

‘Cleopatra’ is my middle name and ‘Vaughn’ is my husband’s middle name. In my final semester of college, while taking a Small Business class, we had to create a brand. Being newly engaged, I wanted of a name that would included my future husband; and so Cleopatra Vaughn was born!
