Conference 2025 Speakers and Entertainment
Anthony Grupido
Anthony Grupido is a magician and keynote speaker based out of Detroit, Michigan. He’s performed magic all over the world and worked with celebrities like the Impractical Jokers, David Dobrik, the Chainsmokers, and even some America’s Got Talent Winners!
His world class magic is top notch—but his story of overcoming depression and anxiety is why you see him speaking at so many schools and conferences about mental wellness.
Miss Oakland County 2024
Alexis Ulmer is the reigning Miss Oakland County 2024, who will go on to compete for Miss Michigan in June 2025! At 19 years old, Alexis is a recent high school graduate and deeply sympathizes with the work SLS is achieving in schools around Michigan. In association with the Miss America Opportunity, she has chosen her Service Initiative to be #FoodFreedom – Preventing Eating Disorders on College Campuses. While Alexis served as Miss Oakland County’s Teen in 2022, she worked closely with teenagers and even got the opportunity to present in classrooms about the significance of social media and the effect it has on the way we perceive our bodies. She is beyond excited to be invited as a keynote speaker for SLS and cannot wait to be a part of the change they are creating!
