Homeless at sixteen. On the TEDx stage by choice, not chance.
Dr. India White didn't start with a platform — she started in a homeless shelter, doing pre-calculus by flashlight. She built the G.R.I.T. framework out of what got her through it, then built a talk around it and delivered it herself.
Peer-reviewed methodology (AMS & NCTM Journals), a three-time University of Florida graduate, a 2022 Gators 40 Under 40 honoree, and a #1 best-selling author — she now teaches the exact process, not a theory she read about.
