Global Biz Awards!
We gathered for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, recognition, and celebration at the 2025 Global Biz Awards, held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the University Club in Lansing, MI. Hosted by Transformation GEMS, this powerful event honored outstanding local women entrepreneurs who demonstrated exceptional business growth and leadership through their participation in GEMS programs. Award winners were announced live and received grant funding to support the next phase of their business journeys, making the night both impactful and truly memorable.
If you want it to sound more testimonial-style, press-release-ready, or social-media friendly, I can adjust the tone in seconds.
"There is nothing quite like the power of women coming together to support and uplift one another. The Transformation GEMS gala was the perfect example of that magic. I left feeling so inspired and grateful for this community. Thank you, Dr. Carmen Thomas, for reminding us that together, we are unstoppable!"
