Empowering Minority Entrepreneurs @ SBE 2025

Hi everyone! I’m Kimberly Erwin, founder of iCAMP — and I want to share what your support has already made possible. And...to ask for your support to fully fund this campaign.

Because of YOU, I was able to attend the Small Business Expo at the Javits Center and spotlight minority entrepreneurs who deserve visibility, opportunity, and support.

And we made magic happen.

✨ What Your Donations Have Done So Far

Thanks to you, I was able to:

  • Interview diverse business owners
  • Create promo videos to boost their visibility
  • Showcase their stories and brands
  • Help them make real connections
  • Elevate entrepreneurs who serve their communities

One of the first was Jazmin McGhee of JazzStyles — she came hoping to make connections, and she DID. Her “Raw to Ready” transformation is exactly why this work matters.

Your support made that possible.

✨ Why We Still Need Help

We’ve done a lot. But we are not finished.

To honor ALL the entrepreneurs who participated — and to honor the donors who believed in this mission — I need to complete:

✔ The full professional editing of all interview videos
✔ The final event footage showcasing iCAMP LIVE!
✔ The remaining costs of the booth + videographers
✔ The essentials (insurance, transport, Expo setup fees)
✔ The borrowed funds used to close the initial gap

Right now, the final bills are due. We’re closing in, but not at the finish line yet.

Where Your Donation Goes

Your support directly covers:

* Booth + Videographers: $5,500
* Event Insurance: $125
* Transportation: $250
* Expo Setup (tables, chairs, electricity): $675

As you see, the bulk of the costs are still outstanding. This means that what you give right now means it is invaluable! In fact, every single dollar helps me deliver on the final, polished videos these entrepreneurs were promised.

Why This Matters

Visibility is everything. Especially for minority entrepreneurs who are:

Underfunded.
Underseen.
Undervalued.

Your donation doesn’t just help one person —
It helps entrepreneurs who help entire communities.

This is the heart of iCAMP.
And the heart of this campaign.

Final Push — Goal by December 15

The campaign will stay open until December 15 so we can reach FULL funding.

If you’ve given already:
I am deeply grateful.

If you feel led to give again — or to share this with someone who believes in uplifting small business owners — your support right now would mean EVERYTHING.

I need YOU.
Only together, do we riSE.

Thank you in advance for giving to me so that I may give even more of value to others ~ Kimberly

PS. See the value of what we can accomplish together here thanks to your support I was able to provide the business owners a copy of their interview to publish on their own sites for traction and I put them on here for others to view. Like YOU! iCAMP Channel. The final full length video needs so we may premiere needs videographers, and can be completed as soon as our campaign funding needs are met. Please support. God Bless!
