Kansas City may be known for its BBQ, Jazz, and a professional football league that's headed to this year's Superbowl. Still, for a weekend in November, it was home to the Glitter Cat Brewer's Bootcamp and Curtis sponsor recipient – Peace. We took a moment to catch up with her after training had finished.

Curtis is headed to the Glitter Cat Bootcamp by sponsoring these two amazing humans, Carlos and Peace. We will be covering their time at GCB as well as their participation in their preliminary events, and hopefully beyond!
