JACKSONVILLE, Fla. PRNewswire -- Creme of Nature today announced that it has teamed up with The Thurgood Marshall College Fund’s (TMCF) Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Division to launch its first Legacy of Leadership Case Study Pitch Competition. The Pitch Competition will provide HBCU
students across the U.S. with a chance to gain hands-on experience, training and mentorship involvement so they can be
fully equipped with the business tools needed to become the next generation of black entrepreneurs and business leaders.

“After awarding 20 HBCU students with our Legacy of
Leadership scholarships earlier this year, we made a firm commitment that our impact would remain and be ongoing for years to come,” said Jolorie Williams, General Manager, Revlon
Multicultural and Contract Services and alum of Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU). “So here we are again with the second installment of our Legacy of Leadership initiative, which is a pitch competition that will allow us to tap into some of the greatest minds across our communities and prepare them to be forward-thinking entrepreneurs throughout all sorts
of industries. We are grateful to The Thurgood Marshall College
Fund for partnering with us to make this happen.”

solving skills for a chance to win a full package of prizes
and their share of $30,000 in scholarship funding. Once all
applications have been reviewed, only 30 HBCU students will be
officially invited to join the competition. These participants will
then be tasked with solving case studies presented by a number of business leaders and corporate partners. Throughout the contest, students will be competing alongside their fellow peers,

Model Canvas, Design Thinking, Pitching, and Entrepreneurship.
