Running an organization is never easy. I have learned that the amount you put in is the amount you get out. I am a firm believer that to whom much is given, much is required, which is why I give my all to the work that I do. I have a passion for women, women’s empowerment, and women’s leadership development. Therefore, despite the challenges I have faced over the years, I see those challenges as opportunities to help build my endurance to continue paving the way for future women leaders.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) — More black women in the U.S. are in the process of starting or running a new business than either white men or women. Unfortunately, only 3% of black women are running mature businesses in part due to a lack of access to key resources needed for entrepreneurship.
In a transformative move towards fostering economic empowerment for people of color, 2022 witnessed the inauguration of the Black and Brown Opportunities for Profit (BBOP) Center in San Bernardino, California. Initiated by Kim Carter and the Time For Change Foundation (TFCF), this groundbreaking 10,350-square-foot-facility stands as a pioneering hub dedicated to advancing the economic prospects of marginalized communities.
Recently, Kim’s story was included in the Italian film “Tell it Like a Woman,” which was created to draw attention to issues combating gender-based violence and women’s empowerment. Kim’s segment was produced by Taraji P. Henson, with Jennifer Hudson playing the role of Kim.

An Inland Empire based foundation—typically focused on getting formerly incarcerated, recovered addicts, and/or formerly homeless mothers in stable homes and reunited with their children in foster care—has a new project aimed at changing the trajectories of the lives of Black and Brown women.
From homelessness and incarceration to becoming an affordable housing developer, Kim Carter has made an incredible transformation, and since then, has been changing the lives of others through her community activism and the Time for Change Foundation, in which she founded.
