“I'm so grateful to The Confidence Collective for believing in me and my business. As a Latina- and Native American-founded food and beverage brand, we live by 'lo mío es tuyo,' meaning 'what's mine is yours,' and that's exactly how this community made me feel.”
Stefanie Garcia Turner, Co-founder of Tuyyo Foods and 2026 grant recipient
“The coaching, mentorship, and workshops gave me the tools, networks and confidence to keep pursuing our business goals. Receiving the $20,000 grant feels surreal and will have a huge impact on our small business as we bring culturally rooted, better-for-you foods to more tables. BOTOX Cosmetic doesn't just talk about supporting businesses, the brand invests in it and truly shows up for women entrepreneurs like me.”
