Kansas City area jewelry maker empowering women through raising funds
Krystal Webb started her business Boss.Queen to share her jewelry-making skills, but she also quickly discovered it is also a vessel to empower other women.Webb is raising three girls with her husband and wants to teach them by example. Last fall, she created a leopard print earring with the letters “K” and “C” and donated part of the proceeds to Amethyst Place, a nonprofit that provides help and homes for women and their children as they transition from homelessness, substance addiction and other trauma.To get more news about

“Amethyst Place is supporting women, and that’s the Boss.Queen mission -- empowering women to live their best life,” Webb said.
Over the holidays, Boss.Queen raised $1,000 for the nonprofit. Now she’s doubling down and is working to raise another $1,000 in one month.
Sarah Knopf-Amelung, the director of resource and program development for Amethyst Place, said the support is incredible. She said every donation goes to help change the future of families living in the complex.
“When they move in, they get their very own apartment, fully furnished,” Knopf-Amelung said. “We're typically able to reunify kids with their moms within a month of coming in."
For many of the children, it’s the first time they’ve had a room of their own, Knopf-Amelung said.
“I’ve been there when a kid is coming home for the first time and I've seen them go into their apartment with their mom and they're like, ‘This is my room? This is my toy? This is my bed?’” Knopf-Amelung said.
“They cry! A couple kids cried a couple weeks ago, because they're not used to having that stability and being with their mom."
