Rolling into this week with another SPECTACULAR SPOTLIGHT✨

Introducing Rylie Dewley to The Faces of Grand Blanc! 😎

Rylie is a current senior here at Grand Blanc High School - and after getting to know her we couldn't be more excited to have her as part of our community. 💙

Here is a snippet of her interview below:

Q: What advice would you give to people?

"My advice to people of any ages is to not base your worth off of what other people say. I used to do this often and would take the words that people said about me to heart, even if they were negative. I think the most important thing people can do is not worry about negative things that are said about them because no matter how many people like you, unfortunately there will always be one that does not."
