In a time, where Black female entrepreneurship is on the rise, Pine-Sol and ESSENCE are committed to making a difference. The Build Your Legacy Contest was created to invest in these women, who are the backbone of their communities and who are contributing to the positive economic impact, right there, where they live. The contest kicked off March 1 and eventually had over six hundred entrants sharing their stories. To address that demand, we’ll now be doubling our commitment in these amazing women and giving a total of $200,000.

Now, not only will our Grand Prize winner receive $100,000, our two remaining semi-finalists will also receive $15,000 each. For additional support, all three will be partnered with an established business consultant to ensure they are set-up for success, and able to navigate what is unchartered territory for many! This guidance will be truly invaluable.

Finally, we will be awarding seven additional entrants $10,000 each for their business.

Pine-Sol and ESSENCE are proud of our commitment to empowering Black female entrepreneurs.
