About Me
More than just an author, Kimberly McLemore is a seasoned Business Strategist that helps you move beyond your challenges and execute your vision. As a military veteran and domestic violence survivor, she knows what it’s like to daily walk in the shadow of death and burdened by feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness. But none of this could stop her success or high levels of achievement including:
25 years’ experience overseeing multi-million dollar projects in the private and public sectors
Over 15 years’ experience teaching a small business plan training certificate program through the State of Iowa
Owning two private businesses
Numerous recognition's and awards including a highlight in the Quad City Business Journal for Young Professionals Under 40 years Old (Iowa)
Kimberly is the CEO and Founder of The Women’s Small Business Initiative, LLC. WSBI is a virtual meeting of the minds designed to assist women who aspire to become an entrepreneur and women who own small businesses in both innovative and practical ways. Kimberly built the Small Business Women's Initiative to help women build sustainable small businesses that not only help them live out their passions but also have another revenue stream to put them in the power seat.
WSBI helps as many small women business owners gain the maximum exposure they need to catapult their business and profitability by using the power of their voice through becoming an author, a podcast show host or create a small business. To help increase visibility nationally and internationally WSBI provides a platform on their podcast show "Your Resource For Success" which has served specifically women in business and the business community proudly for four years, interviewing over 160 amazing guests for free on iHeartRadio with well over 5,000 listeners strong and growing. Each week you get the opportunity to meet a new business owner as we go behind the scenes to discuss their inspiration, challenges and successes of being in business.
Also each year, the company has partnered with Teryck Coles, Owner of Move with Tee to host the Purple & Pink Throwback Fundraiser. During this event, we highlight two causes: Domestic Violence and Breast Cancer awareness both of which are recognized in the month of October.
For the last two years, our pink donations have gone to support Susan G. Komen fundraising efforts while the purple donations have gone to support local domestic violence efforts including shelters and places for families in transition. This year, we are looking to celebrate and fund-raise for local breast cancer agencies, as well as to continue to highlight local agencies for families in transition due to domestic violence and/or domestic violence efforts. Twenty percent of donations raised through Women's Small Business Initiative, LLC goes directly to Pink & Purple Throwback Fundraiser each year. Each donation allows us to continue to celebrate and support business owners.
