What started in Guatemala and Miami has officially gone global!
In late July, GBA Founder Demi Chu met with executive leadership at Dress for Success Worldwide headquarters in New York City to align our missions.
We are thrilled to scale our partnership globally, expanding the reach of our GBA Confidence Kits to empower even more women as they transition into the professional workforce.

GBA REMAINS the exclusive cosmetics Partner for DFS Guatemala City!
Solidifying this deal with CEO Carmen Portillo was a key moment, underscoring Demi’s commitment to sustainable, high-impact partnerships. This collaboration immediately went to work, with Demi personally assisting in the store with product placement and hand-donating Confidence Kits to the courageous Breast Cancer survivors featured in the October 2025 Dress for Success Fantasy Fashion Show.
With over 1,000 cosmetics donated to the organization to date, this partnership ensures every woman supported by Dress for Success is equipped not only with professional attire but also with the inner glow of confidence.
