Marlo Hampton created Glam It UP, Inc. a 501c3 in 2011 to encourage young girls in the foster care system to excel beyond their current status to achieve success in all areas of their lives. “I wanted to give young girls the guidance and the chances I didn’t have growing up in foster care, and hopefully they will pass it on to the next generation of young women.” – MARLO HAMPTON

As a child, Marlo was a ward of the state that grew up in the foster care system due to her mother’s battle with addiction and abuse. Capitalizing off of her newfound fame after appearing on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta she founded Glam It Up, Inc. After aging out of foster care Marlo went on to defeat the odds by receiving a Bachelor of Arts from the University of South Florida where she studied Social Work and Interdisciplinary Science. By 2008, Marlo opened her first high-end fashion boutique which catered to the who’s who of Atlanta’s elite. She is a living and breathing example of hard work and credits her success to her foster grandmother Arrie Holmes.
