On Saturday November 9, 2024, GLC Live at 20 Monroe (formerly 20 Monroe Live) will be activated by “Exhibit A”—an ambitiously creative fashion show and dance party featuring Grand Rapids shops, designers and musicians. 

The 2023 Brilliance Awards, an annual celebration of the dynamic talent, spirit and intellect of those who tackle issues facing professional women, took place May 17 at the Amway Grand Plaza in downtown Grand Rapids.

It’s not a bad word, but it often feels like one. Sometimes, it seems we’ jump through any hoop to avoid saying it. Even Grey’s Anatomy, a medical show (albeit fictional), used the phrase ‘”va-jay-jay’”—coined by the ever-present Oprah—to keep it out of scripts. What’s so scary about this word?

It's been nearly two years since the first all-female morning show took to the air in West Michigan. Not a lot has happened since... oh wait, except a global pandemic! However, from the beginning one thing remains true: They want to make a difference for the audience in their community and have a great time doing it.
