FRAMINGHAM, Mass., June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- T.J.Maxx is creating a community that encourages women to embrace their individuality – together. Despite the fact that every woman has something that makes her special, new research shows that over half of women filter their individuality just to succeed in society. But there's good news: 75% of women say that when they see others being true to who they are, they're inspired to do the same.* In other words, individuality isn't a solo sport: when a woman is true to herself, it isn't just good for her –  it's also good for the women around her.

In its second year, The Maxx You Project will host a series of workshops and an online community to connect women with one another and surround them with a 'shecosystem' to inspire and co-create solutions -- and allow women to tap into the momentum of others to accelerate their own journeys.

The program kicks off with actress and advocate Debra Messing, who attributes her ability to embrace her own individuality, personally and professionally, to the women she's met along the way. "I'm really lucky to have so many women in my life who live as their true, authentic selves," said Messing. "From pursuing my career to starting a family, I've looked to those inspiring women as part of my own community. They didn't get to where they are alone, and neither have I. I want to pass it on."

This year, The Maxx You Project was inspired by insightful research the brand commissioned in partnership with Dr. Serena Chen, Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley, who studies how identities are formed. The research didn't only reveal how much women are holding back who they truly are, but highlighted that individuality is contagious.

"Research shows that many women celebrate individuality in others – but not in themselves," said Dr. Chen. "When women are true to themselves, they report stronger, more satisfying relationships. They were happier (96%), more successful (87%) and less stressed (89%) when they embraced who they are as individuals."*
