ABOUT THE FOUNDERSavannah Grant

Experience that understands what rebuilding really takes.

Savannah Grant knows what it means to rebuild from the ground up. After a life changing decision resulted in a 20 year prison sentence, she spent two decades incarcerated in South Carolina. Returning home meant more than reentering society. It meant confronting her past, rebuilding her life, and deciding who she wanted to become next.Savannah began preparing for that next chapter two years before her release. Guided by Habakkuk 2:2, “Write the vision, make it plain,” she checked her credit, developed a plan, and began creating the foundation for the life she wanted. She decided that her past would be part of her story, but it would not define her future.Today, Savannah is a licensed esthetician in South Carolina and North Carolina, a Peer Support Specialist, Life Coach, and Instructor and Facilitator. She works with the South Carolina Department of Corrections and Mecklenburg County Detention Center, helping people affected by the justice system prepare for life beyond incarceration. Her work includes financial literacy, employment readiness, résumé preparation, resource navigation, and practical reentry planning.Savannah founded Phoenix Rising Consulting to provide the kind of direction and support she once needed herself. Through coaching, organizational programs, and speaking engagements, she uses her lived experience to help people recognize what is possible, develop realistic plans, and move forward with confidence.Her message is simple:
“It doesn’t matter how you start the race, but how you finish it.”

EXPERIENCE IN ACTION
Savannah’s journey has included community events, public conversations, media appearances, and hands-on service.
