About The Glam Impact Foundation
The Glam Impact Foundation was built from years of lived experience serving individuals during pivotal life moments. What began as one-on-one preparation and mentorship revealed a clear truth: confidence, preparation, and access shape opportunity. This foundation formalizes that work into a structured mission expanding access to readiness, support, and measurable impact.
Founded in New Orleans and built through lived experience and community partnership.
How The Glam Impact Foundation Began
The Glam Impact Foundation was born long before it had a name.
Through her work as founder of Face By Trace, Tracie Turner served women and individuals during defining moments in their lives. She saw firsthand how preparation and support influenced not only appearance, but how someone carried themselves, advocated for themselves, and entered new environments with confidence.
Time and again, one pattern became clear.
The difference was not potential.
It was preparation.
Access.
Support at pivotal moments.
What began as individual acts of guidance revealed a broader, ongoing need. The impact extended beyond individual appointments and into community readiness. The Glam Impact Foundation was established to give this work structure, expand its reach, and build a lasting framework to serve future generations.
Where This Work Started
Before The Glam Impact Foundation existed, this work lived inside Face by Trace.
Before the Glam Impact Foundation existed, this work lived inside Face By Trace, a New Orleans–based brand founded in 2011 by Tracie Turner. Through over a decade of direct service, she worked closely with individuals preparing for some of the most important and visible moments of their lives.
Through this work, she witnessed how preparation, confidence, and access influenced far more than appearance. It shaped how individuals entered rooms, navigated new environments, and stepped into opportunity.
Over time, it became clear that this impact extended beyond individual services. The need for preparation, mentorship, and access existed at a broader community level.
The Glam Impact Foundation was established to give this work structure, expand its reach, and build a lasting framework designed to serve future generations. What began as one-on-one preparation is now evolving into a structured, community-based mission grounded in readiness, access, and measurable impact.
