FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- T.J.Maxx, one of the nation's leading off-price retailers, believes that women do remarkable things, big and small, every day, to make it work with their smarts and savvy -- whatever the day brings. Whether it's juggling a crazy to-do list, helping a friend or colleague complete a difficult task, or working a full-time job and making time for family and friends, T.J.Maxx believes all that women do should be recognized. That's why this fall, T.J.Maxx is highlighting women's resourcefulness and the remarkable things they do every day.
Maxximizer and founder of blog Little Lights of Mine, Ayesha never knows what the day will bring as she juggles a crazy to-do list, cooks up new recipes in the kitchen, cares for her two young daughters and cheers on her husband during a game.
Maxximizer and founder of MommyShorts.com and the comedic brain behind @AverageParentProblems, Ilana rolls with the punches and makes the most out of every day.
Maxximizer and founder and CEO of TaskRabbit, Leah connects people in a community to accomplish small jobs and tasks so that they can live smarter - every day.
T.J.Maxx conducted a survey among women and found, when asked to describe themselves, only 19% of them would say they are remarkable. Despite all they do – from working a full-time job, to preparing meals, to managing finances and even making someone else feel appreciated, less than one-third feel they do much that really matters. In fact, the majority of women feel all they do is not good enough or worthy of recognition, and most do not acknowledge the positive impact their everyday accomplishments have on others.
This fall, T.J.Maxx wants to change that. That's why T.J.Maxx conducted a compelling social experiment that brings attention to all women do and helps them recognize how remarkable they really are.
Additionally, T.J.Maxx has partnered with lifestyle expert Ayesha Curry, parenting blogger Ilana Wiles and entrepreneur Leah Busque to create The Maxximizers – a group of women who utilize their smarts and resourcefulness to get the most out of life every day.
Ayesha Curry: Whether she's in the kitchen cooking up a new recipe for her blog Little Lights of Mine, taking care of her two young daughters, or cheering on her husband during a game, she never knows what the day will bring but she always makes it work.
Ilana Wiles: Founder of MommyShorts.com and the comedic brain behind @AverageParentProblems, Ilana knows parenting isn't always easy but she rolls with the punches and laughs when she accidentally puts two different shoes on her kids because that's what matters to her -- making the most of every day.
Leah Busque: Leah Busque, the Founder and CEO of TaskRabbit, conceived of her business on a cold, winter night in Boston when she ran out of dog food. She had no doubt that one of her neighbors would be willing to help her out. It was just a matter of connecting with them. Through TaskRabbit, Leah connects people in a community to accomplish small jobs and tasks so that they can live smarter -- every day.
"Women are so creative, savvy and resourceful in getting the most out of their days and having an incredible impact on those around them," said Ayesha Curry. "That's why Ilana, Leah and I are excited to partner with T.J.Maxx this fall to draw attention to just how remarkable women are every single day."
