Made From Grit
Inspiring resilience, growth, and hope —
one story at a time.


I’m Melissa White Boyer — a business leader, nonprofit founder, and author sharing real-world insight on leadership, resilience, and raising a child with a rare genetic disorder.

I Am Rare Is Here!
I Am Rare: Discovering What Makes Us Shine is a lyrical picture book about identity, belonging, and the science of what makes each of us one of a kind. Told through the voice of a child with a rare condition, it helps every reader see their difference as their strength. Rare does not mean wrong. It means few. Now available in hardcover.
