My incarceration gave me a new lens—it changed how I see people, the legal system, and revealed God’s vision for my life.”
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2025 – A.P. Rose Enterprises, Inc. today announced two major milestones: the launch of Convict Beauty, a lifestyle brand empowering justice-impacted and hardworking women, and the inaugural From Bars to Stars: Prom & Legacy Awards, a first-of-its-kind celebration honoring transformation, resilience, and legacy.— April Paulk, Founder & CEO, A.P. Rose Enterprises Inc.
“These initiatives represent more than business expansion — they represent transformation,” said April Paulk, Founder & CEO of A.P. Rose Enterprises. “Convict Beauty challenges stigma by celebrating resilience, while the From Bars to Stars Prom & Legacy Awards creates space for justice-impacted individuals to shine with dignity and pride.”
Convict Beauty: Flipping Stigma into Strength
Convict Beauty, the newest lifestyle brand under A.P. Rose Enterprises, flips stigma into strength—not only for women impacted by the justice system but for the everyday hardworking woman who faces her own stigmas and challenges. From judges to police officers to mothers and entrepreneurs, Convict Beauty speaks to the universal resilience of women.
From Bars to Stars Prom & Legacy Awards
The inaugural From Bars to Stars: A.P. Rose Prom & Legacy Awards will be the first event of its kind, uniting justice-impacted individuals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders for an evening that honors transformation and builds legacy. The red-carpet celebration will feature formal prom traditions, award recognitions, and opportunities for formerly incarcerated individuals to showcase their resilience and community impact.
From Bars to Stars University
Paulk is also developing From Bars to Stars University, a groundbreaking initiative to educate, empower, and inspire justice-impacted individuals. The University will house multiple academies—including The Queenables Academy, The Kingables Academy, and The Heirables Academy—all focused on equipping participants with tools to transform their lives and businesses.

A Journey of Redemption and Vision
After serving five years of incarceration, Paulk emerged with a vision that fuels her company’s mission: turning pain into purpose and purpose into a movement.
