Beyonce’ gives $10K grants to 10 local business owners

CHARLOTTE — Beyoncé performed Wednesday night at Bank of America Stadium and has been empowering local women while on tour.

Kimberly McGregor, of Charlotte, submitted her SYDKIMYL Educational Consulting company for a grant from BeyGOOD, Beyoncé's public charity foundation.

McGregor won $10,000 which will help her expand to provide free social and emotional learning to K-12 students in Mecklenburg County.

“I can help students that are in these Title I schools because SYDKIMYL is pretty much in Title I schools. But now I can give mental health services to these students that really need these mental health and these counseling services,” McGregor said.

The BeyGood Foundation is awarding $10,000 grants to 10 female-owned businesses in each city on the tour.
