Overcoming adversity is nothing new to Dr. Kyri . Born and raised in the Red Hook Projects of Brooklyn, New York, where opportunity and vision for the future were often concealed by life’s circumstances, Dr. Kyri was determined to create a better life for herself.Dr. Kyri pursued a career in medicine, meeting the needs of her patients in the scope of infectious disease.Unexpectedly, her life changed when she was diagnosed with a rare Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma. This menacing cancer threatened to destroy her right pelvic wall and lymph nodes. The prognosis was poor. Her treatment plan was not “normal.” To eradicate the sarcoma Dr. Kyri endured intense consistent 5-7 daychemotherapy and was infused nonstop 80-120 hours at a time. After chemotherapy she endured a Proton Radiation Therapy for 6 consecutive weeks during the height of COVID-19. She was in the fight of her life, for her life.Dr. Kyri faced her diagnosis head-on and fought courageously against the disease. On May 22, 2020, she heard the words she longed to hear. “Dr. Kyri, you are in REMISSION.”After more than a decade, her vision of creating Organic Gourmet Kookies, with a Hug In Every Bite was made a reality. Years of friends, clients and co-workers saying, “stop giving them away and start selling the Kookies” was the encouragement she needed. In June of 2021 Kyri’s Kookies relaunched and in December 2022, Dr. Kyri opened her doors to the public with Kyri’s Kookies’ first store in Dallas, Georgia.Dr. Kyri is an inspiration to many and serves as a reminder that with giving, gratitude and generosity, anything is possible.
