Step Into Your Power
Rock Your Beauty!
Our Mission
Rock Your Beauty empowers Cincinnati women to ignite their confidence through fashion, community, and connection—one radiant glow-up at a time.
With monetary grants and the support of local, women-owned styling pros, we help underserved women step boldly into their next chapter, feeling seen, supported, and unstoppable.
We’re a Cincinnati-based nonprofit flipping the script on what fashion can do. Because when a woman feels fierce in her skin, she doesn’t just walk into a room, she owns it.
Our Rock Your Beauty Glow-Up Award gives $1,000 to 15 unstoppable women to recharge their light through styling, shopping, and self-celebration. From curated looks at women-owned and women-centric boutiques to beauty services from local pros, every experience is designed to reflect the beauty and power already within.
Glow Up Award Program Structure:
15 Rock Your Glow-Up Awards are granted annually to women ready to step into their next chapter. These will be awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year.
Funds support styling, shopping at women-owned/centric boutiques and beauty services.
Women can be nominated or self-nominate through our website, and we also partner with local nonprofits and women’s shelters to help identify candidates who are ready for a fresh start and a fierce new chapter.
A Rock Your Beauty team member will accompany each winner throughout her glow-up journey—from the shopping experience to the salon session. We’re there to offer expert styling support, thoughtful guidance, and genuine encouragement every step of the way. Our role is to ensure she feels confident, cared for, and empowered to fully embrace this transformative moment.
How to Apply or Nominate
This is for the women who need it most. The Rock Your Beauty Glow-Up Award is designed for Cincinnati women who are facing financial strain, rebuilding after hardship, or starting fresh—whether that means stepping out of a shelter, navigating recovery, or simply trying to reclaim their confidence after a tough chapter.
We believe fashion can be a tool for healing, and beauty can be a bridge to self-worth. That’s why we’re awarding $1,000 Glow-Up Awards to 15 women who are ready to feel seen, supported, and unstoppable.
