Kicking off a weekend of celebrations honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, the ‘invitation only’ event also marks the release of Vaughn’s new book, “From Skid Row To CEO” (T.F. Vaughn Enterprises LLC Publishing) and spotlights a movement far greater than one personal story, showcasing the power of transformation, restored lives through Christ, and the growing, measurable impact of faith-driven leadership and collaboration.

The evening will feature a live reading from the book, an on-stage interview with Pastor Vaughn, and powerful testimonies reflecting the collective work of Christ-Centered Ministries and the Los Angeles Regional Reentry Partnership. Together, they support individuals reentering society
from homelessness and incarceration through faith-based mentorship, leadership development, and pathways to successful reintegration.

Recognized as #1 Critically-Acclaimed Best Seller, From Skid Row to CEO Author Pastor Troy F. Vaughn says, “Redemption doesn’t end with one story. It becomes a movement that restores lives and builds leaders.” This evident in the work Vaughn leads in his non-profit organization, Christ Centered Ministries which he and his wife Darlene Vaughn founded in 1988.

Once navigating life on Skid Row, Vaughn’s journey of restoration has evolved into a mission impacting communities across Los Angeles. His leadership includes serving as Chief Executive Officer of the Los Angeles Mission, where he led initiatives addressing homelessness, recovery,
workforce development, and reentry services. Today, his work continues through Christ-Centered Ministries and strategic partnerships focused on sustainable transformation.

Designed as both a leadership launch and a celebration, the event will bring together faith leaders, entrepreneurs, community advocates, formerly incarcerated individuals, and partners committed to restoring lives and strengthening communities through Christ-centered leadership.
