Vicky & Charisse - Confidence Can Save Lives and Businesses

Confidence is crucial in both business and life. 

Vicky and Charisse are the founders of Dapper Boi, a clothing company that helps people feel comfortable in their own skin. Having confidence in yourself and your brand is essential for growing your customer base and funding. If you truly believe in yourself and your mission, you don't need to be a million-dollar brand to land investors and loyal customers. When you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin, you can show up as your authentic self in all facets of life and business. Dedicate yourself to your mission and values and take your entrepreneurial journey with confident strides!
