How It All Started, and Where It’s Going

The Skinny Plus LLC (TSP) began as a blog focused on body positivity, motherhood, and professional women in 2014. The founder of TSP, Stephanie D. Glenn, continued her professional career in workforce development while blogging. She noticed that there was a lack of resources and services devoted to women in the workforce. Human resource policies in sectors dominated by women were the least likely to have policies that supported paths toward success and growth for women. Notably, programs geared toward assisting women with obtaining employment and occupational skills had no resources that provided meaningful tools toward success for women returning and/or entering the workforce.

Experiencing the difficulty of accessing resources to support professional development after several life changing events, Stephanie realized that there was a need to develop a company devoted to a mission of supporting both women and youth in today’s workforce.
