Today, T.J.Maxx launches Find Your Maxx: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that gives women essential tools that empower them to ditch the fear of failure and put themselves first. Whether that means taking their creative expression to the next level, getting their side hustle off the ground or anything in between, one lucky grand prize winner will receive the mentorship of a lifetime with Emmy-nominated actress, comedian, and writer—Yvonne Orji and $50,000 in starter funds to help propel them toward their Maxx self.

Yvonne knows first-hand what it's like to commit to herself unapologetically. After discovering her passion for stand-up comedy while in graduate school, she altered her plans of becoming a doctor to pursue her dreams. That's why Yvonne is helping her mentee kick-start the process of finding her Maxx via one-on-one sessions, and inspiring women everywhere to do the same.

"As someone who is committed to discovering the best version of myself, I'm excited to join the Find Your Maxx with T.J.Maxx campaign, not only to encourage women to support and empower one another, but also for women to embrace their most unapologetic selves," said Yvonne Orji. "I love that Find Your Maxx is giving women tangible tools to help them break down the barriers to self-prioritization and let their authenticity shine. I can't wait to meet my mentee and go all-in on this adventure together!"

How it Works:

• Starting today through August 26^th, participants can enter for the chance to win the Find Your Maxx prize via findyourmaxx.com by submitting a short video that defines what finding their Maxx looks like. This contest is free of charge to enter.
• One grand prize winner and five finalists will be selected to receive unique prize packages:
• Grand Prize: The grand prize winner will receive $50,000 in funding to help support her as she goes all in on pursuing her ambitions and passions, along with a mentorship with Yvonne Orji to provide insight and expertise.
• Finalist Prize: Our five finalists will each receive $10,000 in funding and be paired with Sophia Casey, a certified life coach and corporate trainer with more than 30 years' experience, to help begin their journey.
