Meet May’s Fort Worth Woman! Kam Phillips is a beautiful, cattle ranching, social entrepreneur passionate about broadening horizons for children in ‘dream deserts’. She is the Owner and Chief Executive Dreamer for Dream Delivered, a boxed subscription service that delivers career exploration kits to the doorsteps of children ages 6-10.
As a first-generation college student who attended the University of Missouri, Kam wanted to leverage her past experiences and resources to provide hands-on experiential learning to children in a way that ignites a pathway for them to experience limitless potential. Kam first began with her creation of the Dream Outside the Box (DOTB) program, a non-profit organization that sends college students to “dream deserts” to expose children to more technical career pathways. She has since expanded to eleven college chapters nationwide. The weekly encouragement provided by these college students to children who initially solely aspired to become rappers and football players, then exposes them to a whole new world of possibilities in careers such as engineering, journalism, forensics, agriculture, etc.
She then created the career exploration subscription box service in 2016 here in Fort Worth. Currently 100% of the proceeds of the Dream Delivered Career Exploration Kits go to help fund the Dream Outside the Box programming.
Kam adores that Fort Worth truly has it all. This charitably-minded, cowgirl CEO loves that we can have a Stock Show, a symphony, and a sushi bar all within a three-mile radius of each other. She believes that this extraordinary city is a place for dreamers and she (like so many of us) is so proud to call it home! Her word for her impact on Cowtown is ‘futuristic’ which is all too fitting given her impact on the career paths of children.
These career exploration boxes have a broad impact. We all know it’s birthday party season, so when you can, visit dreamdelivered.cratejoy.com for your next meaningful gift that will influence beyond just that one child!

Congratulations Kam and thank you for your impact on the future generations of our city! #FortWorthWoman
