The candy is releasing first-ever packs of M&M’s spotlighting its dynamic female characters ahead of International Women’s Day, according to Mars.

You can also nominate women who are flipping the status quo from Jan. 5-15 for their nominee to be featured and receive $10,000 in grants to further fund their flip.
