GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - It was a beautiful and exciting day at the Mary Free Bed YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids!
Nearly 160 middle school girls from five different school districts throughout Kent County attended “Maranda’s Beautiful U” event to empower their minds, bodies and souls.
For four hours, the girls enjoyed thrilling activities, presentations, and breakout sessions, including Zumba, yoga, esports, healthy snack making, priority health dogs, a character traits workshop, an “I AM” affirmations wall, and a surprise visit from the Grand Rapids Rise, all centered around empowerment, education and encouragement.
