Empowering Women Through The Confidence Project

In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at fostering women's entrepreneurship, The Confidence Project by BOTOX® Cosmetic has unveiled its 2025 grant winners. Aimed at empowering female entrepreneurs, this program continues to show significant commitment to enhancing confidence and providing tangible support for business growth.

What Is The Confidence Project?

The Confidence Project is an initiative powered by Allergan Aesthetics, a subsidiary of AbbVie, the global leader in aesthetic products. This program has been dedicated to uplifting women entrepreneurs by providing grants and essential business resources. Since its inception, the project has contributed over $1 million in funding to inspire women to nurture their entrepreneurial aspirations.

This Year's Grant Recipients

On October 21, 2025, Allergan Aesthetics announced the selection of 20 exceptional entrepreneurs who will each receive a $20,000 grant aimed at fueling their business ventures. The chosen recipients successfully completed a 12-week Boostcamp, a program designed to hone their skills and empower them to present their innovative business ideas before a panel of industry experts.

Among this year’s winners are:

• - Natasha Broxton, Founder of Select Auto Parts Sales, Inc.
• - Laci Chisholm, Founder of Fit4Dance
• - Tashara Earl, Founder of Shades of Color
• - Emily Mack, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Offline Wine
• - Tammeca Rochester, Founder and CEO of Harlem Cycle
• - And many more promising women entrepreneurs.

This year's process was particularly competitive, as every entrepreneur demonstrated exceptional vision and determination, making the selection of winners a challenging yet rewarding experience for the judging panel, which consisted of experienced business leaders in aesthetics.

Virtual Celebration: Connecting the Winners

Earlier this month, recipients gathered for a virtual Celebration Community Summit. The event aimed at not only recognizing their achievements but also fostering networking opportunities and providing further insights into growth strategies through breakout sessions led by industry professionals. Notable speaker, Deepica Mutyala, the founder of Live Tinted, engaged attendees in discussions about the importance of representation and community in entrepreneurship.

The summit showcased how crucial it is to create long-standing networks of confidence and support among women entrepreneurs, encouraging them to leverage connections for future successes.

Impact of the Grants

Each grant is seen as a significant investment, providing not just financial aid, but also boosting confidence and cultivating an entrepreneurial spirit among women considerably lacking in traditional funding environments. Tammeca Rochester, the CEO of Harlem Cycle, articulated the sentiment shared by many recipients, stating, “Receiving this $20,000 grant is truly a dream come true. The Boostcamp challenged me to grow and connect with a community of inspiring women.”

The initiative’s broader goal is clear: empower women by providing the tools they need to navigate and excel in the competitive landscape of entrepreneurship. This year’s winners reflect a diverse range of sectors, from wellness to technology, demonstrating the program's inclusive approach to fostering innovation and creativity.

Conclusion

The Confidence Project not only honors outstanding women entrepreneurs but also serves as a testament to the collective power of community.
