Short Summary

Hello, my name is Krista Ford. As the first Black woman to compete in Women’s bobsled and a thirteen time national and seven time world champion powerlifter; I have broken barriers throughout my athletic career. I’m now seeking support to share my extraordinary life story through a memoir, movie, and documentary.

These projects are incredibly meaningful to me. Despite facing immense hardship and adversity, I found the strength to excel as an athlete. My story is one of triumph in the face of all challenges, and I want to motivate others to pursue their dreams against all odds.

To produce these works to the highest quality, I need substantial funding for writing, filming, production, marketing and distribution. With your contribution, we can fully realize this vision and uplift diverse voices in sports that have gone unheard for too long. This is bigger than me – by supporting this campaign, you can impact the next generation of boundary-breaking leaders and change makers.

I humbly ask you to join me on this journey. Let’s show the world what can be achieved when we empower each other and stand united. Please consider making a contribution today – together, we can spread my message around the globe.

What We Need & What You Get

I’m seeking to raise $1,000,000 to produce a memoir, movie, and documentary telling my barrier-breaking story. This is an ambitious goal, but here is exactly where funds will go:

Memoir – $200,000

Ghostwriter Fee – $50,000

Publishing and Distribution – $100,000

Marketing – $50,000

Movie – $600,000

Screenwriter Fee – $100,000

Production Costs – $400,000

Documentary – $200,000

Filming Equipment and Travel – $50,000

Post-Production – $60,000

Exciting Perks:

If we fall short of the $1,000,000 goal, funds will go toward memoir production first, then the movie and documentary proportionally to the amounts raised. I believe in full transparency, so please feel free to ask any questions! My dream is to inspire others, but I can’t do this alone. I appreciate all contributions, no matter how small. Please consider donating if my message resonates with you. Together, we will share this journey around the world!

The Impact

I aim to inspire others by sharing my journey in a memoir, movie and documentary. Though new to creative projects, I know what it takes to succeed when others doubt you.

With your contribution, we’ll spread my unifying story of triumph against adversity across the globe. I appreciate all levels of support – let’s work together to encourage the world.

Risks & Challenges

As a first-time creative entrepreneur, I expect hurdles like production delays or funding roadblocks. However, as an professional and Olympic athlete, I know how to turn dreams into reality through relentless effort. When I struggled to qualify for the bobsled team, I simply trained harder.

If more funding is needed, I’ll re-launch campaigns or invest myself. I’ve overcome challenges my whole career by confronting them head on.
