A loan of $10,000 helps a Brooklyn creative studio buy photography and podcast equipment to expand services.

Walton's story
I started Black Kartel Modelz in Brooklyn to create opportunities for photographers, models, and creators who often struggle to find affordable professional studio space. Growing up around creative people, I saw how much talent exists in my community but how limited access to equipment and studios can be.
I’m passionate about building spaces where creators can bring their ideas to life, whether it’s through photography, podcasts, or other media projects. My goal is to keep expanding the studio so more local creatives and small businesses have a place to produce high-quality content and grow their brands.
