An ongoing celebration of the women who make our community shine. Earlier this year, we kicked things off with International Women’s Day in March and today, we’re proud to share our second annual GLAMoms Women-Owned Business Guide!
From boutiques and travel to fitness studios and professional services, the Greater Lansing area is filled with inspiring women-led businesses bringing innovation, creativity, and passion to everything they do. These businesses not only contribute to our local economy, but also create spaces of connection, mentorship, and empowerment for the next generation.
Our guide is more than just a directory, it’s a celebration of the resilience, dedication, and ambition of women in business. Whether you’re looking for a new favorite coffee shop, a trusted service provider, or the perfect find from a local shop, this guide is designed to help you discover and support women-owned businesses right here in our community.
As more businesses join and interest continues to grow, this guide will be updated regularly, making it a living, evolving resource to come back to again and again.
We would be remiss if we didn’t also recognize our sponsor, Boji Group. With a presence that extends far beyond the Greater Lansing area, Boji Group continues to prioritize and invest in local communities, especially small, independently owned businesses that are the backbone of our economy. Their ongoing support and commitment to uplifting local entrepreneurs is something we truly value, and we’re grateful for their continued partnership.
GLAMoms is proud to continue celebrating women-owned businesses across the Greater Lansing area and even prouder to help amplify their voices.
Let’s continue to support local, because when women succeed, our entire community thrives.
