Sankofa Doula Circle | Brooklyn | It started with my own story. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was deeply dissatisfied with the traditional medical system. I found a Black doula who supported me through a homebirth experience that was respectful, informed, and empowering. It opened my eyes.

Petal Palooza Flower Rental | California | “We’re a faux flower rent-and-return boutique — our mission is to eliminate waste from events by offering stunning, high-quality artificial flowers that can be reused again and again.” Fresh flowers may be beautiful, but they come at an environmental cost. From pesticides to shipping emissions, they can leave a heavy footprint. That’s where Petal Palooza comes in — by offering rentable floral collections that are shipped before and returned after events, they reduce both waste and costs for couples. What started as an idea during the COVID-19 lockdowns quickly grew into a real solution for couples eloping, downsizing weddings, or simply looking for a more conscious way to say “I do.” “We saw that couples were prioritizing intimacy, sustainability, and affordability,” says Sabrina. “So we leaned into that.” | $69,000 | |
Athleisure Lockerstyle | Idaho | I play tennis at my university and juggle full-time classes and a packed training schedule. One day, after practice, my teammates and I went to the gym with just our keys and student IDs. But the locker didn’t lock, the gym cubbies were wide open, and we ended up having our valuables stolen. That moment lit a fire in me. I imagined the perfect solution — a secure, wearable storage option. And since it didn’t exist, I set out to create it. At the time, I didn’t know how to sew, build a website, or even what being an entrepreneur really meant. Thankfully, my mom owned a bridal salon and had a talented seamstress team. I sketched out my first design, and after multiple iterations, The Wrist Locker was born. | $35,000.00 | |
Size & Style Co | Illinios | Size & Style Co. was born from my own frustration as a curvy woman trying to find stylish, high-quality clothing that truly fit my body—and my lifestyle. The final push came after attending a major event where five other women, including me, showed up in the same low-quality white dress. It was a wake-up call. From that moment, I vowed to build something better. I earned my MBA, worked as a buyer at Target, then served as a brand manager for an iconic label. Over six years, I gained the knowledge I needed—and launched Size & Style Co. with one goal: To put curvy women first. We’re not just another plus-size brand. Our made-to-measure apparel empowers women to choose what flatters and fits them—from neckline to hemline. No more being an afterthought. At Size & Style Co., our customer is always front and center. | $587,000 | |

I want to build something that outlives me—something that helps people, especially those in need. This grant brings me one step closer to that dream. | $70,980.00 | |

Femme & Flow has grown into more than a product—it’s a mission. | $250,000.00 | |
Lady Luxe Fashion Studio | Puerto Rico | Lady Luxe Fashion Studio was founded in Puerto Rico, back in 2018, during a time when the island was recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Maria. I wanted to create a space where people could not only learn the craft of sewing but also empower themselves through sustainable fashion. We teach everything from basic clothing creation to advanced mending skills. Whether it’s through in-person workshops, private lessons, or even online courses, we aim to make the art of sewing accessible to everyone. | $389,000 | |
Javier A. Bryan Peanut | Florida | “It started with my great-uncle Gallman’s 35-year-old peanut brittle recipe,” Javier shared. “After college, I joined the Peace Corps and worked with Hindu communities in the South Pacific. Uncle Gallman used to send me peanut brittle, and it became a sweet connection between my life in the U.S. and the village where I was serving.” Javier soon realized that this delicious treat created not just joy—but community. After forming a friendship with a local woman named Bettis, he launched a crowdfunding campaign to help her start a small business. As a thank-you to donors, Javier made and shipped Uncle Gallman’s brittle. “That campaign changed both of our lives,” he said. “She now owns property, bought a car, and her son is in pharmacy school. It also inspired me to turn this recipe into a real business.” And with that, Javier A. Bryan Peanut was born. | $98,000.00 | |
Stacey D. Robertson of MegaSSBrand | California | MegaSSBrand Skin is not your average skincare line—it’s a clean, cruelty-free skincare brand created specifically for Black and Brown children. Founded by Stacey and her now 14-year-old son, Bron Echols, the brand was born out of a very real gap in the market. “When my son was younger,” Stacey explained, “I couldn’t find any clean, non-toxic skincare products for school-age kids—only baby products or adult items. He ended up using my skincare products, or just soap, water, and lotion.” From that frustration came purpose. Together, Stacey and Bron launched MegaSSBrand Skin in May 2023, and have since been on a mission to promote not only healthy skincare habits but also self-love and confidence for children of color. | $150,000.00 | |
