The framework that turned a homeless shelter into a TEDx stage.
Dr. India White is the creator of the G.R.I.T. framework — a system for resilience, growth mindset, self-efficacy, and time management, taught to individuals, teams, and organizations around the world.
Headshot — Dr. India White
"Don't let your environment define you. You define you."
At sixteen, Dr. India White was put out of her own home and ended up in a homeless shelter. She built the G.R.I.T. framework out of what got her through it — and now teaches it to individuals, teams, and organizations navigating their own hard seasons.
She is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 3-time University of Florida graduate, and a 2022 Gators 40 Under 40 honoree. Her TEDx talk, TEDxOcala, has been watched by nearly 300,000 people.
