Grit, Glam, and Guts begin in 2011 in Lansing, MI as a one-day event for girls and transformed into a movement to inspire, equip, and empower teens to navigate modern-day challenges. The first event was a one-day conference for teen girls with the goal of creating a safe space, create a sisterhood, and empowerment within a community. It has now expanded to include multi-partnerships in 3 cities, a week-long residential camp at Michigan State University, and after school programming. Michigan Premier Events was honored to manage Grits, Glam Gluts fundraising brunch.
