About the Founder
Meet Asia.
Convener of women · Builder of brave spaces
Championing women to:
- Speak Up
- Stand In Their Power
- Take Up Space

Hi, I'm Asia Lareau — Keynote Speaker, Executive Coach, and Founder of Girl, Grab the Mic. I grew up in Los Angeles, built my career coast to coast, and chose Minneapolis to plant something real.
I help women awaken their inner courage to use their voice out loud — building unshakable confidence in community. The output of our time together: self-trust, a louder voice, and the courage to say yes to being seen.
Asia brings 10+ years of executive leadership experience — including C-suite roles, an MIT Sloan MBA, and coaching engagements with senior leaders at companies like Google — to every room she enters.
What Asia Believes
Three Truths She Teaches
Shedding old stories is essential to birth a new narrative.
You don't have to be perfect to use your voice — you just have to begin.
Shaking is normal. Speaking anyway is the practice.
What's the Front Row?
Your seat. Before the room fills up.
Gathering Two is coming. Front Row members get the date, the venue, and registration access before it goes public. First in line. Every time.
