Kham'ryn B
www.khamrynb.com/home.aspx
The idea of Kham'ryn B. is accredited to two sisters whom wanted to resurrect the family business. Karyn and Khamiya, are the co-owners of Kham'ryn B. Their father, Kham was in the retail business for over 30 years providing fine quality shoes, apparel and accessories at Kham & Nate's on the south side of Chicago. Kham & Nate's grew to 10 stores, from Michigan Avenue to Indiana. Kham paved the way for many aspiring entrepreneurs including his daughters. The young ladies saw again a similar demand for a uniquely defined retail store in close proximity to the south side of Chicago. Both sisters being zealous shoppers themselves have time and time again been plagued with the decision of traveling downtown with little to no parking, or driving miles out of the city to find a store of this class and genre. Specializing in both men and women shoes Kham'ryn B. offers an array of fashionable accessories and a collection of trendy couture fashions, making shopping an exciting, refreshingly unique experience "fit for all walks of life".

Mixed Chicks

Wendi LEVY and Kim ETHEREDGE, two "mixed chicks", created a product line because they needed it. Then, something happened...friends and family started encouraging them to package it, and soon they had a full blown business running out of the garage. After a little door to door hustling, a few celebrity endorsements, and a ton of online customer support, MIXED CHICKS is bringing their products to the world.

The Empowerment Experiment
www.eefortomorrow.com/purpose.html
The major goal of The Empowerment Experiment is to prove that average individuals and families can generate significant economic growth in the Black community if they were to commit to purchasing from Black–owned businesses and professionals. In a year, this becomes less of a study and more of a campaign for an increasingly connected, mobilized Black community – one that fosters more interdependence and exchange between businesses, professionals, consumers and investors. United and informed, we can demand more supplier diversity, employment diversity, investment and financing, enhanced access and service from mainstream corporations and financial institutions – and a more respectable share of the Black consumer/investor dollar. The Empowerment Experiment is not about The Andersons. The Empowerment Experiment is about all of us. The Empowerment Experiment is our movement.
