RedDrop, a trailblazing wellness brand specializing in period care products for tweens, has achieved a significant milestone by winning the $1 million grand prize at Pharrell Williams’ Black Ambition competition. Black Ambition, a nonprofit initiative founded in 2020, empowers Black and Hispanic entrepreneurs by offering funding, mentorship, and networking opportunities.

At the 4th Annual Black Ambition Demo Day, held with support from Visa, Comcast, Louis Vuitton, and other major brands, eight finalists presented their pitches to a panel of esteemed judges, including Lisa Price, Pinky Cole, and Erik Moore. RedDrop emerged as the standout winner, recognized for its mission to provide inclusive, education-backed wellness solutions tailored to tween girls.

Co-founder and CEO Dr. Monica Williams expressed excitement over the win, emphasizing how the prize money and mentorship will fuel the company’s growth. “Winning $1 million is life-changing, but the mentorship and network provided by Black Ambition are priceless. We’re now building our own table to invite others to have a seat,” said Dr. Williams.

In addition to the funding, RedDrop gains access to industry leaders, exclusive retail partnership opportunities, and executive coaching for six months. This win positions RedDrop to scale its impact and bring wellness solutions to underserved communities.
