Meet Heather
“I built this business to create a legacy for my children.”
I'm Heather E. Humphrey, founder of The Girl Has Grits n' Grace. I'm a proud wife, mom, and animal lover, and my family is at the heart of everything I do. I built this business to create a legacy for my children and to show them that, with a little grit and grace, anything is possible when you believe in yourself and are willing to take the leap.
I love helping business owners feel more confident about their finances and giving them the support they need to focus on what they do best. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my heartbeat, my better half, and my soulmate—my husband, Dell—along with my three children and three fur babies, soaking up every moment together with a big ol' glass of sweet, iced tea nearby.
