Hear how a trip to the White House inspired Kimberly Kelly-Rolfe to equip underserved entrepreneurs with the resources they need to skyrocket their businesses. After learning that if every small business hired one more person, we would achieve total employment in this country, Kimberly made it her mission to make this hypothetical a reality. With experience securing million-dollar contracts and teaching at USC, Kimberly has transformed the SouthernCaliforniaVirtualBusinessCenter (SCVBC) into a leading support network for minority business enterprises. The SCVBC is supported by the MBDA's $125 million Capital Readiness Program, which provides technical assistance and business support services to prepare underserved entrepreneurs to grow and scale their businesses. #WeAreMBDA #Entrepreneurship #DiversityAndInclusion
